Why We’re Leaving the Algorithm Behind—Spoiler Alert: Fanbase Is the Future

By The Glitch Report | Plenty Magazine

Let’s get right to it: social media is broken. What once felt like a digital playground for connection, community, and creativity has been overtaken by algorithmic overlords, aggressive ad pushes, and manipulative feed mechanics that silence real people in favor of viral fluff and corporate cash grabs. It’s no longer a secret: platforms like Instagram, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok are designed to push content that feeds the machine—not your message, not your art, not your hustle.

But here’s the glitch in the matrix: Fanbase.

Founded by visionary entrepreneur Isaac Hayes III, Fanbase is the renaissance of what social media was always supposed to be—a place where people connect authentically, get seen, and actually get paid.

The Social Media We Knew Is Gone

Let’s rewind. The early 2010s gave us something rare: a moment when social media actually felt social. You could post a photo and your friends saw it.

You could share an idea and the people you chose could engage with it. There were no shadowbans, no manipulated feeds, no subtle suppression based on who you are or where you're from.

Now?

• Commercial content is prioritized over personal posts.

• Businesses and creators are forced to pay just to be seen by their own followers.

• Algorithms serve you what they want—not what you ask for.

Even on personal pages, content is increasingly filtered, sorted, and served not by preference, but by performance. This polarizes people, deepens division, and flattens culture into viral trends with no soul.

And let’s not forget: major platforms have been caught red-handed suppressing content from marginalized communities. No appeal, no transparency, no accountability.

Long Live the King: Why Fanbase Is the Only Real Choice

At The Glitch Report, we don’t just report trends—we live in them. And after testing Fanbase for seven days, we came to a very clear conclusion: Fanbase is the new king of social media. Period.

Fanbase believes current platforms fail users in three major ways:

1. Visibility

2. Monetization

3. Platform Volatility

Let’s break it down:

Visibility

Fanbase is transparent. No more guessing games about who saw your post or why your reach is down. Say goodbye to shadowbans and hello to organic visibility. Creators are able to reach their audience without algorithmic manipulation. It’s content first, not capitalism first.

Monetization

Here’s the kicker: Fanbase lets users monetize from day one. Unlike other platforms that limit monetization to the elite or gatekeep payment options, Fanbase allows every user to turn likes into subscriptions and support. No clout-chasing required. Just post, connect, and get paid.

Platform Volatility

Other platforms have shown us exactly how unstable they are—changing rules without warning, banning accounts without explanation, and removing posts that challenge the mainstream. Fanbase is built different. Its policies are clear. Its appeal systems are fair. And the community? It’s built on trust and freedom, not fear and favoritism.

Our Fanbase Test: The 37-Cent Revelation

So what happened when we gave Fanbase a shot?

We uploaded ad copy. No content, no community entertainment, no heavy lifting. And guess what? We made $0.37.

Before you dismiss the amount, you need to really think about what this evidences—while other people were paying for ads on every single social media platform (except maybe Pinterest, which requires a good amount of time investment attracting affiliate partners and diverting traffic), we were paid for our advertisement. The users paid us! (Mind-blowing.)

They appreciated the 60 seconds (maybe) of ad copy we added, liked it for no charge, and loved it—for pennies—37 times. They're fans of the content.

It’s as if one discovered Aladdin’s lamp. It only requires rubbing. It's undeniable that Issac Hayes III is a genius because he saw it, and then did what most never do—he built it! And we're excited to use it. On fanbase we earn without gaming an algorithm, without begging for views, without a single entertaining post. That tells us one thing: the platform works as advertised. With actual effort, engagement, and storytelling? The sky isn’t the limit—it’s just the start.

Join the New Era of Social Media

To Mr. Hayes and the team at Fanbase: we see you. We salute you. And we’re with you.

For everyone tired of fighting the feed… for every creator tired of being invisible… for every business looking to connect with people, not just numbers—Fanbase is your new home.
