Social media has taken a lot of flak since its heyday as the great global connector. Studies show that despite its benefits, social media can be addictive and fuel issues like depression and anxiety.
Several alternatives are trying to address these problems. One new platform, Maven, removes common, addictive, vanity metrics like followers and likes, instead using an algorithm designed to provide more value.
Backed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and Twitter co-founder Ev Williams, Maven is built around 'open-endedness'—a concept by co-founder Kenneth Stanley. Instead of training an AI for specific goals, Stanley trains it to evolve on its own, hoping it can discover unique solutions.
How does this benefit social media? Stanley argues that traditional platforms incentivize actions like likes and retweets, leading to inauthentic engagement. On Maven, there are no followers; you post about your interests, and the evolving algorithm surfaces your content to the right people.
Instead of following people, you follow interests like cooking, music, coding, and design. The algorithm tags your posts with appropriate interests, populating your feed with content that matches your preferences, fostering more serendipitous discoveries.
Maven is available on both iOS and Android for free and it's available now to try out. Who knows, it could be the app to really challenge X (Twitter).
