## Introduction

Developed in Ukraine, Kabukura.ai (registered in Delaware, USA) is planning to launch its service on January 8, 2024. The primary focus of Kabukura.ai is to cater to the unique demands and aspirations of retail stock investors in Japan, offering them a tailored and insightful platform for their investment journey. This service is a subscription-based online information platform where stock investors are able to exchange their own insights and interact with each other. It aims to be the next generation of social networking services that overcomes the problems of existing social media platforms, offering a comfortable and beneficial environment for information sharing for its users.

Most startups from Ukraine, including global and unicorn companies as well as IT outsourcing firms, have traditionally been registered outside of Ukraine, such as in the United States, and have not explicitly stated their Ukrainian origins. Sadly, most people are unaware that these companies are Ukrainian, partly because Ukrainians themselves have hidden this fact. However, Kabukura.ai is different; it has boldly emphasized its Ukrainian roots from the beginning, continuously advocating for Ukrainian technology and support. The core development and UI/UX design of Kabukura.ai were all carried out by a Ukrainian team in Ukraine.

Kabukura.ai's TV commercial is created using cutting-edge generative AI technology for its lyrics, composition, vocals, video, and narration.

## Problems with Existing Social Media Platforms

First, let's identify the problems with existing social media platforms.

* Ad-based Model: Existing social media platforms adopt an ad-based model where services are free, but users are bombarded with a plethora of advertisements. The platformers profit by exposing users to a multitude of ads. Consequently, user browsing history is collected as data, and content is recommended based on algorithms. This has led to an influx of posts and ads from accounts that users do not follow.
* PV Supremacy: Advertisers on existing social media platforms desire as much exposure to their ads as possible. This has naturally favored users with high impression counts, leading to a proliferation of extreme statements and borderline defamation to garner attention and increase follower counts. However, the statements of users with many followers or those who are good at going viral are not always correct. Existing social media platforms have become breeding grounds for fake news and conspiracy theories.
* Slowing Growth: Moreover, user growth on existing social media platforms is slowing, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to gain new followers (there was a time when you could officially buy followers on Twitter). The system is designed to favor accounts that already have a large number of followers.

Next, let's discuss the features of the new social media platform, kabukura.ai.

* Subscription Model & Elimination of Ads: Kabukura.ai does not adopt an ad-based model; instead, it uses a subscription model. Inside the site, only user posts are displayed, with no ads or unnecessary algorithm-based recommendations. Essential information can be shared instantly with the entire community.
* New Opportunities: Kabukura.ai does not have the following system. Everyone sees everyone else's posts, organized by categories. This opens up the opportunity for anyone, not just influencers, to make good posts and gain a wealth of insights.
* Elimination of Nuisance Users for the Community: Kabukura.ai bans harmful accounts, including those that defame, impersonate celebrities, or commit investment fraud, in one fell swoop. Existing social media platforms allow the creation of unlimited accounts for free and have become too large to adequately deal with malicious accounts.
* Focused Community on Specific Themes: Kabukura.ai is a social media platform specialized in stock investment. Focusing on a theme allows people with similar interests and values to connect.

## In Conclusion

Kabukura.ai aims to be the next-generation social media platforms that overcomes the problems of ad-based models and PV supremacy found in existing social media platforms, offering a comfortable and beneficial platform for information sharing for many users.
