Why I built a platform for debate without hate

Comment sections reward the loudest voice. Face-to-face conversation rewards the best argument.

Text-based arguments online escalate because nobody has to look anyone in the eye. Put two people on camera and the temperature drops.

That idea became Taout, where anyone can go live, invite a counterpart, and let the audience score the strongest take. Read about Taout, the live video debate and podcast platform.

You control the algorithm

No hidden levers. Real conversations decided by real people.
