Support & FAQ
Answers, fast.
What exactly is Gather - and how is it different?+
Gather is a social network built around real support, not vanity metrics. Instead of chasing likes and fighting an algorithm, creators share work and receive direct tips from people who value it. Fans decide what matters to them, not a recommendation engine, and the value goes straight to the person who made it.
How do tips reach me, and what does Gather take?+
Tips arrive in your Gather wallet as real money, almost instantly. You keep the vast majority - Gather only takes a small fee when a tip moves, and fees are waived during founder windows. The goal is to put creators first, not to extract from them.
Is my data private? Do you run ads or sell my info?+
No ads, no data brokers, no behavioral targeting. Gather earns revenue when people willingly support each other, not by auctioning off your attention. You choose who to follow, who to tip, and what appears in your feed.
Who can join right now, and how do I get an invite?+
Gather is in open beta, so anyone 18 or older can join. Signing up takes about 30 seconds with no payment or commitment, and a wallet is created for you automatically.
Can I bring my existing content and audience?+
Yes. Share the songs, videos, posts, and projects you already make, and invite the community that already follows you. There is nothing to rebuild - Gather simply gives them a direct way to support your work.
Gather is built by Stri Labs on a simple conviction: the internet was supposed to connect us, and somewhere along the way it started monetizing our attention instead. We're building the correction.
On Gather, real-money tips replace vanity likes, you decide who you see and who gets paid, and creators keep the lion's share. No algorithm deciding your fate, no ads, no middleman.
