## What is Youmus?

To be heard, you must listen.

You posted a demo and got three plays and no feedback. You paid a pitch service and got a copy-paste rejection. Youmus is the other way around.

Youmus is a reciprocal feedback engine for music makers. Give one attentive, verified listen plus a reaction to someone else's track, and you earn one guaranteed attentive listen on your own. No gatekeepers. No pay-per-rejection. No fans required — fifty makers means fifty listeners by definition.

HOW THE LOOP WORKS
1. Swipe a daily deck of tracks, not people — about 20 a day, so finishing it is a ritual, not a doomscroll.
2. A swipe only counts after a real listen — about 30 seconds or half the track, verified server-side. Honest signal only, no skipping for credit.
3. After the listen, leave one-tap feedback: reaction tags like "hook stuck" or "mix is muddy," an optional emoji dropped on the waveform, an optional short note.
4. Every verified listen-with-reaction you give earns one "ear" — and an ear pushes your own track into someone else's deck. Ears are earned by listening. They are never for sale.

WHAT YOU GET BACK
- Real listens on your demos, not vanity plays — proven by playback heartbeats before they count.
- A track analytics dashboard: total listens, a skip-point curve ("40% bail at 0:45 — your intro is too long"), a reaction heatmap, hook rate, save rate.
- Feedback that builds you, not breaks you: structured tags and waveform moments, plus a reputation system where helpful critics get heard more.
- A public ear score and tiers like "Tastemaker," earned from listen volume, feedback helpfulness, and spotting tracks early.
- Weekly per-genre charts that reset every Monday — newcomers always get a fresh shot at the top. "Rising" and "Discovered by" surfaces included.
- Collab matching: a mutual maker-to-maker like opens a chat. Connect over work you've actually heard — text, replies, reactions, voice memos, shared track moments.

BUILT FOR DEMO CULTURE
Upload your first track in about 60 seconds. Voice memos and phone recordings welcome. Metadata optional — "untitled demo" is fine. Genre auto-tags from the audio with one-tap confirm. Rough and unfinished is the whole point. Three free track slots to start.

WHO IT'S FOR
Bedroom producers, rappers, beatmakers, indie bands, singer-songwriters — anyone making music in a room and posting it into the void. Peers, not followers.

YOUMS (OPTIONAL)
Youms are a convenience currency you can buy in packs. Spend them on a Boost (24h deck priority that buys speed reaching listeners — never guaranteed reactions or ratings), a Super-like, a profile or track Spotlight, extra track slots, or a Pro analytics unlock. Youms buy speed and reach. They never buy ears, reactions, or ratings — those are always earned.

SAFE FROM DAY ONE
Block, report, rate limits, automated moderation, and a DMCA process for audio.

Give a listen. Earn one back. To be heard, you must listen.
