Social media was originally established to connect people. But it has now fuelled unprecedented isolation and division. It has damaged democracy, exploited creators and publishers and stripped people of value. Addictive algorithms control what people see and how people feel, forcing more ads and less friends into our feeds, so the tech giants can make even more money. This has turned humanity into the largest unconscious and unpaid workforce in human history. Not on our watch. WeAre8 ushers in a new era for social media, one where people, brands, communities and creators unite to change the world: - No anonymity, or damaging algorithms, plus AI technology that eradicates hateful content - Reimagined economic model that shares advertising dollars with people and charities through a centralized in-app wallet. - A transformational advertising experience that is 100% opt-in, provides brands with unrivalled attention, click through rates, brand love and a turn key solution to all your ESG goals - all powered by the worlds first sustainable ad manager - SAM-i
