A single global feed where every post costs more than the last. Permanent. Public. Paid. No ads. No edits. No escape. Would you pay to be heard? A social experiment in voice, value, and silence. Available now on iOS.
Hey everyone! I’m the maker of The Wall.
This started as a fun social experiment:
What if scrolling was free… but posting cost you?
And what if the price went up every time someone spoke?
The Wall is one shared, permanent feed.
No ads. No edits. No algorithms.
Just you, your voice, and the rising cost of being heard.
The first post cost Ø1.
Now it’s Ø2.
Next? Ø3.
It keeps going — for everyone.
It’s about timing, impact, and deciding when it’s worth saying something.
Sometimes that means speaking up early. Sometimes it means waiting too long.
Would love to hear what you think — and see what you’d post before it gets too expensive.
This sounds like a paid megaphone system in some online games.
Good luck :)
Just raising a thought for discussion: Doesn't this create yet larger gap between the voice volume between the rich and the not so?
LOL. Love the idea - Brilliant! I wonder what would happen if it went beyond the social experiment, reminds me of the million dollar pixel page. Refreshing!
Damn! such a cool experiment! If this reaches critical mass, I can imagine some crazy patterns emerging. Lots of archetypes will be revealed, rich kids throwing money just to prove a point, "put your money where you mouth is" gained a new meaning. Maybe I'm reaching, but this is really exciting. Congrats!
Very interesting. I'm just curious: All SM platforms encourage users to create more content so their audience has variety and more reasons to stay on the platform. By restricting content creation, you are reducing consumption and app use. From a business perspective, this looks like self-cannibalisation.
I confess the idea behind it is interresting, but it's for 1% rich people, yes paying a price make you think before speak, and education too. I think this is not beneficial for ordinary people, we have the feature of scrolling and reading for free in another dozen products.
This is such a wild and deep concept. Makes you think before you speak — literally. Love the ‘no edits, no escape’ idea. Curious to see how it evolves. Respect for building something so different!
Please explain who pays for the post: the author or the reader? How can a content author earn money?
This is pretty radical and really interesting! Congrats on shipping.
from the landing page i dont really understand the currency? is it some sort of token? do i exchange dollars for them?
what's the sole purpose of this app? like there's abundance, i can tweet anything on X for free, so why would I want to pay to share?
Hey Robert.
Just want to make myself clear – the purpose is a digital detox?
