# Problem & Solution

> Why the gap between creators and prediction markets exists — and how Maybee closes it

## The problem

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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 |

The result: prediction markets that people actually want to share, talk about, and come back to — because they're built around people, not just prices.
