x-rated
A social platform for selectively sharing and locking content with sophisticated privacy controls and monetization options.
Project Overview
X-Rated is an innovative social platform that combines the best elements of Instagram, Twitter, OnlyFans, and Tinder into a unified experience. The platform empowers creators to selectively share and lock specific content - from images and videos to writing and photos - with granular privacy controls and monetization options.
Users can create tiered content experiences, with some material publicly available while premium content remains locked behind subscription paywalls or one-time purchases. The platform features sophisticated matching algorithms similar to dating apps, helping connect creators with audiences most likely to appreciate their content.
