Spill is a next generation social platform that puts culture first. At its best, social media can bring you humor, insight and connection to some amazing people. We’re building Spill to make it easier, safer, and more rewarding to get to that experience, as well as introducing new ways to connect through real time conversation. Initially, you will be able to: Create, comment, amplify or share a random thought, called a “Spill,” with the public Host in-app chat events with your friends both virtually and IRL Follow the cultural commentary on things that are happening in the world right now Oh, and you automatically get paid if a Spill of yours goes viral and we monetize against it 🤑 Ultimately, our goal is to make Spill the de facto platform to discover and discuss culture worldwide.
