"Slop"
Merriam-Webster's 2025 word of the year
You scroll through feeds wondering what's written by a person and what's generated by a machine. You see comments that feel off, profiles that seem hollow, content designed to extract your attention rather than earn it.
Up to 64% of accounts on major platforms may be bots. Thirty percent of online reviews are fake. The places we used to connect have become platforms for manipulation.
Something fundamental broke. And no one asked us if that was okay.
Kith is a social platform where every member is a verified human, invited by someone they trust. Your feed is chronological — you see what the people you care about actually posted, in the order they shared it.
Every other platform promises “real connection.” But when half the accounts are bots and the feed is sorted by what makes you angriest, that promise is hollow. Kith is structurally different — paid so we never need ads, invite-only so every account traces back to a real person, and human-only so nothing you read was generated by a machine.
Small circles. Real people. Genuine conversation.
We will never break these.
Every member is invited by someone they trust, creating an unbroken chain of human accountability. No anonymous signups. No faceless accounts.
No AI-generated content. What you read was written, photographed, or created by a real person. If you see it here, a human made it.
Your feed shows what the people you follow posted, in the order they posted it. You decide what matters — not an algorithm optimizing for engagement.
We make money from subscriptions, not advertisers. Your attention is yours — we have zero incentive to hijack it.
Never sold, never licensed, never used to train AI models. We don't build profiles on you. We don't track you across the web.
Everything on Kith is visible only to members. Your posts stay inside the circles you chose. Outsiders can't see in — not scrapers, not crawlers, not anyone.
Simple by design. No learning curve, no settings to configure.
Every member joins through a personal invitation from someone already inside. That person is vouching for you — and you'll vouch for the people you invite. It's a web of trust that starts with real relationships.
Private Circles are for your people — friends, family, neighbors, coworkers. Public Circles are for your interests — cooking, photography, local news, parenting, whatever you're into. Every member is a verified human.
Share what's on your mind. Catch up on what your people are doing. No tricks, no engagement bait — just genuine conversation between real people who chose to be here.
Post pictures of your kids without wondering who's scraping them to train an image model. Share your thoughts without feeding a machine learning algorithm. Have a conversation without it being mined for ad targeting data.
On every other platform, your content is the product. It gets analyzed, categorized, and sold — to advertisers, to data brokers, to AI companies. You agreed to it in a terms of service document nobody reads.
Not here. Your data is never sold, licensed, or used for AI training. Ever.
We don't build shadow profiles. We don't track you across the web. We don't sell “anonymized” data that isn't really anonymous. Your life stays yours.
$3/month.
First month free.
You pay so we never need ads. You're the customer, not the product.
Less than a coffee. More than any free platform will ever give you.
The price isn't just about revenue — it's a filter. Bots don't pay monthly fees. Trolls don't invest in communities they plan to destroy. The small cost keeps the space worth being in.
You know this to be true. You can feel it every time you open an app. That gut sense that what you're looking at wasn't made by anyone. That the comments aren't from people. That the photos aren't real. Nothing feels real anymore, because increasingly, it isn't.
Open any social media app right now. Really look at it. AI-generated images with hundreds of thousands of likes from people who think they're real. Bot accounts posing as people. Comments written by machines. Articles, reviews, entire posts. Generated, fake, and designed to hold your attention as long as possible before you notice no human was involved. It's theft. AI is now stealing the most valuable thing you have left: your time and attention.
The word “slop” entered the dictionary because we needed a name for how bad it's gotten. More than half of all web traffic is bots now. And it's getting worse, not better. Every crypto bro and hustle account has pivoted to AI content farms because that's where the money went. The slop is industrialized. And amidst this rising tide of AI flooding every corner of the internet, everyone can feel that something is deeply wrong.
I don't know about you, but I want to go online and read something a real person wrote. I want to see a photo someone actually took. I want to have a conversation and know, not hope, not guess, know, that there's a human on the other end. I don't have the mental energy to play Sherlock Holmes with every piece of content that comes down my feed, and yet that's what I find myself doing more and more of. There is nowhere online right now where I can just trust what I'm looking at.
But it's not a simple problem. AI is getting harder and harder to detect. Every few months the fakes get better, the detection tools fall further behind, and the gap between “real” and “generated” gets smaller. No amount of labeling or watermarking is going to fix this. You can't regulate your way out of it. You can't build a better AI detector, because the AI will always be one step ahead. The system is broken at the root.
So we need a new approach. And honestly, people are already figuring it out. They're retreating to group chats and DMs. They're asking friends for recommendations instead of trusting search results. They're turning to people they know instead of algorithms they don't. The pattern is obvious: when people stop trusting the system, they go back to trusting each other. The answer isn't better AI detection. It's a place where every person was vouched for by a real human being. By humans, for humans.
Decentralization is a great idea in theory. But open networks can't keep you safe. There's no gate, no accountability, no way to guarantee that the person on the other end is real. Maybe, just maybe, a walled garden is what we actually want in the age of AI. Not a walled garden owned by a corporation selling your data. A walled garden built and owned by the people inside it.
Kith is simple. You get invited by someone you trust. You pay a few dollars a month. You join Circles. Private ones for your people, public ones for your interests. Everything is chronological. The algorithm is gone, and so is the AI-generated content, the bots, and the slop. Just real people, posting real things, in the order they posted them. And the whole thing is private. Nothing on Kith is visible to anyone who hasn't been invited by a real person. No scrapers, no crawlers, no outside eyes. If you're not in, you can't see in.
And here's what makes it work: every account on Kith exists because a real person vouched for it. That creates a chain of trust. If a bot gets through, we don't just remove the bot. We remove every account it invited. The whole branch, gone. That means the cost of getting caught isn't losing one fake account. It's losing every account downstream of it. It makes Kith a terrible target for bots and a great place for people. You open it, you see posts from real people in the order they posted them, and you never have to wonder if any of it is real. Because it is.
If you're not paying for the product, you are the product. Every free social network makes money the same way: by selling your attention to advertisers, which means they need an algorithm to keep you scrolling, which means they will always choose engagement over your actual experience. Kith costs a few bucks a month because that's the only way to build something that doesn't need to do any of that. No ads, no data harvesting, no algorithm. Our only job is to be worth it.
If you want a place like this to exist, get on the waitlist.
