Good luck everyone :) As a solo founder this time around, I built Rap Genius for movies & TV shows: https://www.spoiled.tv
Love the animated logo. How are you acquiring user reviews? Paid traffic? Looks like you've got a good amount of views and content already!
Traffic-wise, I went viral a few times on reddit. The content I did myself and I paid some UCLA undergraduates to write, but working on programmatically seeding it from IMDB.

Ok, We'll start :) We're building the world's first bank that is a true fiduciary. Our mission is to enable the 70% of Americans who have less than 5k in savings, and the 76% who can't pass a financial literacy exam achieve financial independence. How? We only offer one product - a smart checking account that acts as a financial advisor + planner. (Think of your finances on autopilot). For every other product or fina…

Looks great! I'm a huge fan of content like Alt-Shift-X and Every Frame A Painting, do you hope to move in that direction over time? Not necessarily yourself, but providing tools/space for creators to produce it?

Yes! I loved Every Frame A Painting when it was still on and I think spoiled.tv is the perfect space to get to experience that kind of content.
An authoring platform enabling authors/journalists to "open source" their fact checking. That is, making their fact checking reviewable and reusable. Here's a demo article on net neutrality! https://sourcedfact.com/a/net-neutrality-how-we-got-here When it comes to media, trust by brand is breaking down. Media outlets can't expect their audience to just trust their assertions because of their big name anymore. That us…

haha, maybe that'll be the first screening test you can put on someone's profile. I've been a fan of Upwork having tests for freelancers and then publishing their score on their profiles. You should also check out Harj Taggar's company, TripleByte - he was super involved in YC back in the day. (He may still be, but not sure!)
I'm very aware of Triplebyte, but what we're building is different. Those startups focus on building recruiting and evaluation tools. The company is their primary customer, and a developer will probably only have a Triplebyte account for a limited period of time. Fizbuz places the developer first, and we want to build tools for developers that help them manage their career and brand over the course of decades. We wil…
Do you think you'll eventually start building mentor networks?

Love this idea. I discovered FI(RE) a couple of years ago, and it changed my life. When I think of the number of tools I use to manage my finances and the amount of time I devote to it, it's no wonder more people aren't excited about taking control of their finances. Good luck!

Other than telling friends about it, anything users can do to help?
For example, my sister is re-watching Battlestar Galactica with her boyfriend and she wants to contribute to it.

Having a mission and sticking to it is something I relate to in a big way. I hear you on the InMail ban. Do you think you'll eventually start building mentor networks?
