You desperately need a concrete demo in the form of an interactive demonstration or a YouTube video showcasing actual usage.

Like everyone else on this hacker news post I simply cannot understand what this app / social media network / etc. does.

It almost sounds like you want to combine twitch style raids with interconnected "Facebook brand page-like" social networking?

Thank you for contributing to the discussion. It is painfully clear by now that we are not doing any good job describing and explaining our platform. There are some videos on YouTube, but they basically are showing the same steps as the website. We’ll try to upload a fresh one hopefully more clear.

The most succinct description we could come up with is: Youphenom is NBA for social media content creators.

It is far more interesting to have the basketball teams competing in a league, compared to just having each team showing entertaining skills in practice separately. But currently all social media content creators are doing just that - showing entertaining skills/content separately. This is why we built a platform were anyone (sm content creators, real teams, not-real teams, etc) can join and compete. As in most social networks and in sports, on our platform there are two groups: the content creators and the fans. 1.As a fan you find pages/teams that you like and you “upvote” them (which gives them points). 2.As a content creator you compete for the fans’ attention and affection (doing very much exactly what you’d be doing on other sn). 3.All that “packaged” in a pro-league-style competition (at the end of each month we have a champion and at the beginning of the next month the new season starts). We’ll work on that video and will ask admin if allowed on this thread Cheers
