WeAre8 is a London-based social networking platform that seeks to change how social media operates by reducing anonymity and addressing concerns about the effects of traditional algorithms. It proposes reallocating advertising spend to share revenue with people and charities through a centralized in-app wallet, and it emphasizes content safety through AI aimed at reducing hateful content, complemented by an opt-in advertising experience supported by its SAM-i sustainable ad manager. The company targets individuals, brands, communities and creators seeking a platform that aligns monetization with social impact and user value, rather than a data-driven model used by established networks. It is positioned as an alternative within the social networking space, with a relatively small team and a focus on consent-based advertising and content safety. A notable recent development is a 2025 partnership with Magnite to power its new mobile in-app ad product.
