ASAB vs Giist

At its core, ASAB Media is a friendly and inclusive photo and video sharing platform built for everyday people, creatives, influencers, and businesses alike. Our mission is simple but powerful: to create a space where positive, uplifting content can thrive—where communities are seen, heard, and celebrated. Whether you're sharing daily moments, uploading a new video creation, or connecting through features like ASAB Stories and Live Stream, ASAB makes it easy. With a streamlined user interface and a clean, modern design, uploading photos and videos is fast, simple, and accessible for everyone. The platform encourages creativity and interaction—users can like, comment, and support each other’s content in a community-first environment.

Giist is a groundbreaking new way to share online that gives readers full control of what they see (no opaque algorithm), and writers full control over their posts and the ensuing conversation; it is built from the ground up to minimize trolls, bots and online abuse; it provides a central place to share from all over the web (including other social media); and it encourages knowledge-building by allowing edits, other users to suggest edits, version tracking, a robust user-generated graph of topics, as well as keeping private notes with the same rich formatting and powerful search features. Giist has a freemium model, with free coins given to users daily, and more available for purchase if desired (web only), so it can avoid ads or sharing user information with marketers.
