About us:
Getting people’s attention in the spammy web is super hard. At TT we are focusing on tech people - the most important resource fueling global economic growth. Their attention is critical for (a) recruitment (b) dev tools (c) crypto protocols and (d) education.
The spammy internet originated with Google, who persuaded everyone that content should be free and built a click-based revenue model. Unfortunately, this motivates all users to maximize reach at all cost, bringing misinformation, polemical content and clickbait.
It also sucks value out of users: They create 70% of all online content, yet get back less than 1% of all revenue generated.
We believe that our users (Tech People) have personal assets such as network & knowledge that are extremely valuable if you looked at them through the impact they can create rather than display.
