The problem
Creators are stuck with ads and donations
Creators are stuck with ads and donations
Monetization options for influencers are narrow: ad deals, sponsorships, tips, subscriptions. None of these turn the audience’s opinions and engagement into revenue. A creator who says “I bet X will happen” can’t actually capitalize on that moment — there’s no infrastructure for it.
Audiences want to play, not just watch

Comment sections are full of predictions and hot takes, but they lead nowhere. There’s no structure, no stakes, no way to prove you were right. The desire to compete and be recognized exists — the tools don’t.
Prediction markets are powerful but lonely

Platforms like Polymarket proved the model works. But they operate like trading terminals: anonymous, impersonal, zero social context. There’s no reason to come back beyond profit, and no connection to people you follow or trust.
The solution
| Problem | Maybee’s answer |
|---|---|
| Creators can’t monetize opinions | Creator-led markets with built-in fees and audience participation |
| Audiences have no way to compete | Public battles, rankings, and a reputation system tied to accuracy |
| Prediction markets lack social context | Every market belongs to a creator and their community — it’s personal |
