What this is

Slush.Social is a crowdsourced alternative data platform. Contributors post short, factual observations about the world — things they see, measure, or experience directly.

All content is public and viewable on the web. Structured, machine-readable access is available via a paid API.

Credibility-weighted data

Every contributor has a credibility score. The score is determined by real demand: how often their data is accessed via the API.

Higher credibility increases the price of accessing that contributor’s data through the API. Low-signal data becomes cheaper. High-signal data becomes more valuable.

How data providers are paid

API revenue is shared directly with contributors. When your data is accessed, you earn a percentage of the API fee.

There are no follower counts, promotions, or incentives to write opinions. Contributors are rewarded purely based on demand for their observations.

Simple, transparent data structure

Data is plain text with optional semantic tags. No forced schemas. No interpretations.

Walmart Supercenter in San Jose unusually empty on Saturday afternoon. $WMT Target parking lot in Phoenix noticeably fuller than last month. $TGT

Tags like $<ticker> are optional and used only for organization and filtering.
