Help me fight corporate propaganda (and roast my landing page!)
Hi IndieHackers!
I'm working on a non-profit focused on battling corporate propaganda. It's still early days, so my goals are to...
- Look legit (e.g., if I emailed you from this domain, would you give me the time of day?)
- Articulate the problem I'm trying to solve
- Collect emails from others who are interested in this problem
The page: https://anthemlabs.org/
Let me know how I'm doing. Thanks in advance!

Personally I get the cringe on the anti mentality
If you'r going for something like help reduce tabaoo deaths, I'd read, but if you say fight the evil corprate money of the tabaco interest, I'd walk away
The page looks like fight evil capitalism = I'm out
IDK if I'm a minority in my attitude, surely you'r going to get mixed reactions on such political topics
Also for me, I need to understand what you are ACTUALLY techinally/phisically going to do, which I don't get in the page
I do know at times the war on the enemy mentality is the way to get the big crowds, but I wonder how things changed over time... and over growth of a movment.. at the start you just need a few powerful sneasers
Caveat: I'm against your message.
That said the copy has a problem.
"Corporate propaganda" does't sound like a super clear concept. And why is it a problem to me as a visitor?
The thing is quite an issue, because the idea is to use that same propaganda.
If a corp do it, is bad. But if you do it is ok? It doesn't sound right.
By presenting it this way, you lose the moral high ground.
Hi Tom!
Awesome concept, I love the idea of fighting back against huge corps.
I think your site generally looks super professional, but any time I see an undraw image (although I love them) it stands out to me as a copy-and-paste job.
I agree w/ th other commenter, what would be an example of your solution? Would it be something like The Gravel Institute?
What would the role of the person signing up for your newsletter be? Donating money? Sharing content? It's not so clear what you want, to be honest.
Maybe simply changing your CTA language would help? Instead of "Keep me Posted" it could be "Join the fight"?
If you liked my feedback I'd love to get yours! (or even just an upvote)

Thanks! 🙏
I get the overall idea but it's not clear how you're going to solve the problem. Do you have an example of something you've done ?
