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.

    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).
