Social media optimizes for attention, not user intent.

Feed Filter is the user-owned control layer for algorithmic feeds. It shows who and what is degrading your feed, then helps clean it up automatically.

severe early-adopter segment (SOM)

Based on primary market research of 8,178 users (Q4, 2025), this severe segment uses social media regularly, has high unmet need around filtering information, speaks English, and is willing to pay at least $5/month.

Augmented with weekly qualitative customer feedback interviews and iteration.

Early traction: 2,445 handles submitted, 306,986 profiles touched, 59,380 accounts deeply analyzed, 137,817 post analyses run, and 271,555 media artifacts processed across the current product and earlier prototypes.

Last month, visitor-to-free-report conversion improved roughly 5×.

What it does

Feed Filter runs a semantic classification layer across social platforms. Users enter a handle and receive an audit showing repeat offenders, clickbait, ragebait, misleading claims, and low-value promotional content. The same pipeline powers feed filtering, audience mapping, and content production workflows.
