The Model
Traditional social networks extract value from users. We're flipping it. Every user owns shares in Kansensus (www.kansensus.com), calculated by this formula:
Your_Stake = 60% referrals + 15% join_time + 10% activity + 15% commitment * Referrals (60%): Bring users, earn equity. Your network building = your ownership. * Join Time (15%): Early adopters get rewarded like early Bitcoin miners. User #1,000 gets 100x what user #10,000,000 gets. * Activity (10%): Active users > lurkers. No zombie accounts diluting stakes. * Commitment (15%): At 10M users, we activate this. Delete Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, gain 15% more equity. Your choice
The Product
For now it's simple: a voting platform for global issues. In the future it’s all social media formats in one super app. Download the app, use it in guest mode without registering. Like what you see? Sign up to earn equity. Every vote, every issue posted, every referral tracked. Real-time analytics show global consensus broken down by demographics. The world's opinion, transparent and owned by the world.
The Math
Facebook: $1 trillion value ÷ 3 billion users = $333 per user locked in Zuckerberg's vault. Kansensus at 100M users (3% of Facebook's size) with 1/10th the per-user value = $3,330 per average user. Early users and builders could have 10-100x that. At 1B users, we're talking life-changing money.
The Growth Hack
www.fuzuck.org - our campaign site. The message is simple: delete Meta, Tiktok, Instagram, Twitter and join Kansensus, own what you build. When we hit 100M users, we trigger the commitment score. Imagine millions deleting Big Tech accounts simultaneously for 15% more equity. That's a news cycle you can't buy. Why Now? Lenin said capitalists will sell us the rope to hang them. We're using capitalism's own rules - ownership, incentives, network effects - against platform monopolies. The coordination game theory is beautiful: everyone wins by growing the network they own.
The VC Exception
We might consider one VC for roughly 10% - but only if they meet three criteria: 1. They see how Kansensus becomes a trillion-dollar global platform owned by the people, making their 10% worth $100B+ 2. They hate Zuckerberg and Elon as much as we do (not negotiable) 3. They have actual critical thinking skills (rare in VC land, caz’ they’re clowns who don’t even know how to do due diligence) Most VCs want control. We want a partner who understands that giving power to users is the ultimate moat. If you're a VC reading this and your first thought is "but how do you maintain control?" - you're not the one.
The Ask
I need engineers who see it. No salary (I have none). Your code contribution % = your ownership %. Pure meritocracy. Current status: * App is live but basic * 1 year of runway left * Unique revenue model jahangir.y86@gmail.com
The Bet
Either users can coordinate to own their platforms, or they can't. Both outcomes teach us something fundamental about human coordination at scale. Download it. Break it. Tell me why it won't work. Or help me prove it will. Because if we pull this off - if we get to critical mass - we don't just build another social network. We prove users can own the internet they create. P.S. Yes, I know the regulatory nightmare. Yes, I know the scaling challenges. That's precisely why it might work. The impossible ideas are the only ones worth pursuing.
