# True Social

> Discover how JPEG’s market-driven approach redefines social media

## True Social

### Definition

JPEG applies prediction‑market mechanics to the social web.\
Each photo becomes a small market where people can express belief in what they find meaningful, funny, or culturally relevant — through economic action, not just reaction.

> “I believe this deserves attention.”

### Core Concept

* Traditional social media uses algorithms to decide what trends.
* Visibility is based on engagement metrics like likes and shares.
* JPEG replaces that with a market‑driven system:
  * Collecting a photo = making a prediction.
  * Collective decisions, not code, determine what rises to the top.

  In JPEG, the market is the sorting mechanism.\
  The market is the algorithm

### Why It Matters

* Connects cultural attention and economic value in a transparent framework.
* Turns passive scrolling into active curation and decision‑making.
* Rewards conviction, taste, and creativity within a fair system.
