Overview:
Social spaces have become polluted with profit-driven agendas and toxic conversations. Spaces that were once home to creators and business professionals have been overrun by political discussions.
There is a growing call for regulation in the social media space as the world reacts to corporate and political interests taking advantage of free advertising and a newfound source of digital manipulation.
What is needed is a non-profit social media and content platform that allows users to make revenue off their screen-time, instead of making tech giants even richer.
Monetization:
There is a growing call for a more unified platform that will allow content creators to earn revenue from the content that they create. Platforms like Kickstarter, GoFundMe, and Patreon offer fragmented solutions for connecting content creators with audiences willing to support their work.
There are new efforts to consolidate audience-funded projects, where users pay a low monthly fee and gain access to a wide variety of premium content.
Geo:
Geo puts these two pieces together. All accounts on our platform are vetted, and we will always delete accounts that promote violence or any kind of discrimination. This is not a place for affiliate marketing or profit-driven startups.
If you are a writer, artist, traveler, journalist or organization focused on improving our environment and communities, you are welcome on our platform.
Content Creation Meets Social Media:
Users of Geo not only benefit from a safe and secure platform to do their writing, and they can also network with like-minded individuals by posting to their timeline, writing, and responding to private and public messages.
This allows people to interact in a more meaningful way, encouraging long-format discussion, and more thoughtful feedback.
Users in underserved or disadvantaged communities are encouraged to participate and in this capacity, Geo provides an opportunity, allowing users from around the world to interact and make connections.
