Rich — also known as Clouds / Zrixxh

I built Scythe not just to change the way we use social media, but to reclaim what was stolen from us — our privacy, our safety, and our trust.

For too long, tech giants like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and others have built their empires off your information. They collect your habits, listen to your conversations, track your location, and create detailed profiles that are then sold off to whoever pays the most. And what do you get in return? An endless scroll of ads, some you never wanted, some that feel eerily too specific, and others that lead you right into scams or shady websites.

I didn’t wake up one day and decide to make an app because I wanted to get rich or go viral. I did this because I’m sick of watching the internet turn into a trap. I want people — especially young people — to be safe from scams, hacks, and even those constant scam calls we all get that seem to know too much about us. Ever wonder how they got your number in the first place? It wasn’t by accident — your data was sold.

That’s the world these platforms created.
They harvest everything about you, sell it, profit from it, and then pretend they care about “security.”

I want Scythe to be the wake-up call — not just for users, but for the tech industry itself.

Let me ask them this:

How would you feel if someone took all your personal information — your family details, your conversations, your location history — and sold it to some random business you’ve never even heard of?

What if you started getting creepy emails, targeted calls, or dangerous phishing links because your info got passed around without your consent?

That’s what they’re doing to us, every day.
But they hide it behind legal disclaimers and privacy policies nobody reads.
I’m here to expose that. I’m here to stop that.

I believe in a world where:

• Your personal data is your property, not a product
  
  
  

• You’re protected from scams and not led into them by ad algorithms
  
  
  

• You aren’t tracked or profiled just for using an app
  
  
  

• You can speak, post, and connect without being watched
  
  
  

Scythe isn’t owned by shareholders or advertisers. It’s owned by a vision — a vision that people deserve better. That you deserve an online space that doesn’t treat you like a commodity.

When I say:

“I will NEVER sell your info or data.”
I’m not just saying it to sound good. I mean it. And I stand by it.

If building Scythe means I have to take on billion-dollar platforms, then I’m all in.
I’m not afraid to jump in the deep end. I’m not here to play it safe.
I’m here to fight for something real.

Because if nobody else will stand up for your digital freedom, I will.
This is my promise to you. This is Scythe.
