Some things should exist, but capitalism won't build them.
Not profitable enough. No clear owner. Nobody's problem.
Dumb Taxes is a collective fund. Everyone chips in $1/month.
We vote on what to fix. Then we fix it.
Everyone pays $1/month. That's it. Less than a coffee. More than nothing. The whole point is that it's painless for individuals but powerful in aggregate.
The community nominates and votes on causes. Reddit-style upvoting, transparent discussion. We pick causes that should exist but don't—because no one's incentivized to make them happen.
Winning causes get funded. Maybe it's buying a company and making it good again. Maybe it's funding a public resource. Maybe it's something weird and beautiful.
MTV used to matter. It shaped culture, broke artists, started conversations.
Now it's just another content machine optimized for quarterly earnings.
What if we bought it? Made it free, independent, weird, and culturally relevant again?
No shareholders demanding growth. No advertisers demanding safe. Just good.
That's the kind of dumb, beautiful idea Dumb Taxes exists to fund.
We're building this thing. Join the waitlist to be first in.
