Hey Product Hunt 👋 We built SoSeeAL because social media today feels more addictive than authentic. Algorithms decide what we see, virality often beats meaning, and real connections are harder to find. SoSeeAL brings back simplicity and intention. It lets you share Moments like Instagram, Stories like Snapchat, Thoughts like X, and videos like TikTok. All in one clean and ad-free app. Everything is shown in chronological order, with no algorithms deciding for you. What makes this launch special is that it was built independently, with no outside funding. Just two co-founders driven by the belief that social media can feel human again. We’re proud of what we’ve created and even more excited to share it with you. Let us know what you think. We’re listening.

What is your monetisation model if you have no ads?

@rebecca_meyer Hey Rebecca ! Thanks you for your question. Since SoSeeAL is ad-free by design, we focus on a freemium subscription model as our main monetization strategy. Users can enjoy the core features of the platform for free, while those who want more, such as access to advanced tools or account certification, can upgrade to a premium version of SoSeeAL called SoSeeAL Plus. This approach keeps us fully aligned with our users rather than advertisers. It ensures that the platform stays clean, intentional and centered on meaningful interactions rather than attention-grabbing tactics. In addition, our affiliate and referral program allows users and creators to earn commissions by helping us grow. It is a model that rewards the community, not just the platform. We are not closing the door on the possibility of introducing ads in the future. If we do, we will make sure to share a fair portion of the revenue with all users, not only creators, because we believe in giving value back to the people who make the platform thrive.

Any plans to join the open, social web by adopting ActivityPub or ATProto? These protocols offer users meaningful choice without the lock-in.

@chrismessina Hi Chris , thanks you for taking the time to comment. At the moment, we’re focused on building the best possible experience within SoSeeAL itself with clear design, meaningful connections, and a sustainable model that puts users first. That said, we’re absolutely keeping an eye on open protocols like ActivityPub and ATProto. We value the vision behind them and the potential they offer for a more open and user-controlled web. while it’s not on our immediate roadmap, it’s definitely something we may consider in the future as we grow and stabilize the core platform if ouf community is pushing for it.

Cool. It sounds like a much needed step back to what made social media enjoyable in first place, curious to see how a focus on authentic content feels :)

@michaelrog Thank you! 🙌 That’s exactly what we’re aiming for : bringing social media back to its roots, where connection and expression mattered more than algorithms or metrics. We’re excited for you to try it out and tell us how it feels. Your feedback means a lot! 😊

I find SoSeeAL to be a refreshing break from typical social media apps. The ad-free, algorithm-free experience lets me enjoy authentic content in a chronological feed—it reminds me of how social platforms used to feel: real and personal.

Any plans to add a web interface? I hate using mobile phones for social media.

Was literally craving this type of platform 2 days ago

There is an issue with the profile setup page where there are two overlapping buttons. I was blocked on that for an hour.
