Feed it Forward

No one is ever locked out of Feedcast for lack of money.

The people who can pay quietly keep the lights on for those who can't — and you can see exactly where every dollar goes. We seed the pot ourselves first.

Honest by construction

What Feed it Forward is — and is not.

This is a commercial community with a generous heart — honest commerce, not solicitation. You buy real value for yourself; the warmth is real.

It is
A voluntary gift you buy from Feedcast that credits another user
Closed-loop credits redeemable only for episodes
Founder-seeded first, community-amplified second
Fully transparent, glass-box accounting
100% of gifts become user credits
It is not
A peer-to-peer money transfer between users
Cash, a withdrawable balance, or a yield account
Community-funded before we've put our own money in
A pool where dollars vanish into 'marketing'
A platform that takes a cut of generosity

Coffees are tips to the founder via X Money. Credits are separate, closed-loop, and funded by the pot — the founder tops it up from their own money. See the glass box above for the math.

Closed-loop
A credit is always an episode — never cash, withdrawal, or a transfer between people.
Glass box
The pot's books are public and read live from an append-only ledger. Transparency is the feature.
100% to credits
Every cent of a forwarded gift becomes user credits. We take no cut of generosity.
Founder-first
We never ask the community to fund something we haven't already backed with our own money.
