ABOUT
Why Pr3ss3D Exists
Pr3ss3D began as an engineering question.
After decades working in large-scale IT systems, it became clear that the problems in social media were not primarily moderation problems. They were incentive problems.
Platforms were optimized for account counts, not authentic users. Time-on-platform became another core metric, which drove algorithms designed to maximize engagement. Engagement rewards outrage, manipulation, and amplification.
Over time, additional incentives emerged. Actors not interested in selling products or services began using the systems to shape discourse. Platforms also created revenue streams that required users to pay for reach in order to overcome their own algorithms.
Pr3ss3D is an attempt to redesign those incentives so real people, not engagement mechanics, determine what gets seen, while eliminating bots, shadow operators, data harvesting, tracking, and surveillance.
