The algorithm rewards the top 1%. I built for the other 50 million.
I spent 4+ years as a creator on TikTok. Broken discovery, platform cuts, an algorithm that only rewards who's already winning.
I eventually cracked six figures. Then I realized the problem was never me, it was the platform.
So I built EchoLive.
Ultra-low latency co-streaming. Real-time engagement-based monetization. Revenue split in the creator's favor. No ad dependency. No algorithm bias.
MVP is live with internal testers. 100+ founding creators in our Discord/Pre-Referral before public launch, not because of marketing, but because the problem resonates before we even launch.
If you've ever felt like the platform you're on was never built for you, it wasn't. We're building the one that is.
Excited to be here, happy to connect with other founders building in consumer, creator economy, or media.
Building for the underserved majority is where real product-market fit hides. The top 1% already have solutions - it's the everyday creator or solopreneur who has the real pain and no good answer.
This maps perfectly to what I see in the solopreneur space. All the flashy tools are built for funded startups or enterprises. The solo founder at -5K MRR is managing clients, projects, and revenue in scattered spreadsheets because nothing was built specifically for their scale.
Building a Solopreneur Notion OS for that majority - a 9 one-time bundle that gives them a real operating system without the SaaS tax. Curious who your target 50 million are - what's the specific context you're building for?
The 'Middle Class' of the creator economy is the biggest untapped market in media. Algorithms that only reward the top 1% eventually starve the platform of new talent.
Since you’ve already got 100+ creators ready to jump, you should use that momentum in the Validation Arena (tokyolore.com).
