About Kindred

Kindred was founded by Adrian Hallberg. It is a social platform for human-made work: posts appear in the order they were shared, there are no ads, and 35% of subscription revenue goes to the creators people watch.

I'm a film photographer and adventure creator, and I got tired of watching work I'd spent days on disappear under an algorithm. I wanted social media back the way it started: the people you follow, in order, and creators paid by the people who actually watch. So I built it.
