A new social video platform aims to shift the power and monetization back in the hands of content creators.




Today, powerful social mediums that house our omnipresent digital creations retain ownership of all our words and posts.

If you’re a writer, photographer, videographer, the chances that you – and solely you – own unique content are slim to none.
