It is true that larger platforms receive attention due to their established user bases and the massive amount of content and engagement they generate. As a result, this often leads to a neglect of emerging platforms like Spoutible, as resources in the media and among influencers are limited.

Many influencers and media outlets continue to focus on platforms that promise extensive reach, sometimes overlooking features and community safety in favor of sheer audience size. This has led to platforms like Threads gaining popularity among those with large followings.

However, this overlooks the strengths and potential that platforms like Spoutible possess.

But here's where our story diverges from the rest and looks toward a bright and promising future. Unlike others, Spoutible doesn't solely rely on media attention or the whims of high-profile influencers.

The fact that Spoutible is owned by a Black man dedicated to inclusivity while protecting its users from toxicity and disinformation has unsettled many within the industry. This discomfort arises from the potential of such a platform to challenge the established norms.

In today's media landscape, platforms led by Black founders often fail to receive attention and recognition compared to their counterparts like Twitter, Threads, Bluesky, and others who dominate the conversation.

They were, in part, a reaction to the threat posed by a platform that not only champions inclusivity but is also led by a person of color. This resistance, however painful, underscores the importance of what Spoutible is trying to build.
