I joined Smitty’s X Space to explain why I built Pickax and why I believe social media has fundamentally stopped being social. After Freedom First Network was censored across platform after platform, I watched Big Tech graduate from simply banning people to something arguably more effective: conditioning creators to make content for algorithms instead of human beings. Congratulations, your audience is no longer your audience. Your real boss is a robot deciding whether anybody gets to see what you said. We get into censorship, Elon Musk’s “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach,” why Pickax has no algorithm manipulating your feed, the creator economy, monetization, our explosive growth, why I have no interest in becoming beholden to Wall Street shareholders, and how we’re trying to make social media social again by putting creators and actual human relationships back in control.
Big Tech is silencing truth while harvesting your data to feed the machine. That’s why I built Pickax, a free speech platform where creators own their content and your voice isn’t controlled. Join now: https://pickax.com/?referralCode=y7wxvwq&refSource=copy
