Ponderly Status

Built on the ethos of “we-the-people,” the 4b is start-up challenges the status quo by creating a space for well-written articles on controversial topics that are original, to-the-point, and validated extensively with proper references.  On 4b, you’ll find fresh editorial content that cuts through the closed information bubbles of mainstream online news sources (or worse, fake news).  In contrast, we welcome all voices with a unique perspective provided that the content has been properly referenced, fact-checked, and verified by our diligent editorial team.  Once an article is live on the site, all readers on the forum can engage with the content directly, either through political debate, upvoting, commenting, or tagging other @users.  Likewise, community posts show user-generated content from users that you follow, helping you access more content relevant to your top categories.  Adhering to the classic principles of free speech and integrity-driven journalism allows the reader to decide where they stand on issues and controversial topics free from the pressures of bias.  With premium membership ($3. 99/month) you get a bonus of 4 monthly branches to use at your discretion, a freely daily post, and an ad-free experience. Interested?  As an individual, you can engage with the content, discuss topics, and share thoughts privately if you wish.  Inspired by the concept of the “fourth branch of government,” the mobile app 4b was designed to be a safe place for healthy debate.  You can also purchase branches or redeem them for merchandise or to create a user post.  On top of this, our team of editors is always on call ensuring that due diligence has been done regarding fact-checking and verifying the credibility of sources cited.  Fundamentally, 4b creates a space for inclusive discussions where multiple viewpoints can be discussed on thought-provoking, civil terms without ridicule or divisiveness.  For example, let’s say you refer a friend; for each new user who redeems your code, you redeem a branch.  Premium users are allowed one free post per day.  All users can post a picture and text; however, this costs them “1 branch” to post.  Whether you choose to set your profile private or public, you can still engage in community activity and speak your mind.
