Introducing ‘BEGENONE’
A key highlight of our recent expansion is the launch of ‘BEGENONE,’ the very first product under our new offerings. BEGENONE is a groundbreaking video-sharing social media platform designed to revolutionize how people worldwide connect and communicate. Its primary aim is to foster a more positive environment and strengthen connections among families, friends, colleagues, students, businesses, and anyone else you wish to engage with. This innovative platform marks a significant milestone in our journey towards transforming digital communication.
Your Authentic Voice in a Noisy World
Note: Designs have been confirmed but note that minor changes could be implemented in the final version which may look slightly different than the ones shown above.
WHAT WAS THE INTENT BEHIND BEGENONE?
Navigating the digital realm can occasionally feel like navigating a storm, replete with negativity, altered content, and the incessant urge to fit in.
We’re all too familiar with the experience of endlessly scrolling through feeds swamped with controversies, pessimism, and distressing news, leaving us feeling worn out and detached.
This is precisely why We’re thrilled to introduce something We’ve dedicated ourselves to developing: a fresh social media platform named “BEGENONE”. And why “BEGENONE”? Because, in all honesty, we all merit a space where we’re free to be our authentic selves, share the real us, and forge genuine connections with others.
Before we get into ‘Why’ BEGENONE, Let’s first see ‘What’ is BEGENONE.
Here’s what BEGENONE is all about:
Freedom for Meaningful Conversations:
It’s well-known that certain platforms have encountered scrutiny over their content moderation methods, which occasionally results in worries over the suppression of voices. For instance, there have been numerous instances reported of individuals being banned or censored for voicing their opinions, sparking debates on the equilibrium between freedom of speech and the safety of the platform. At BEGENONE, we champion the principle of freedom of expression, provided it remains courteous and free from hate speech. Whether it concerns your political ideologies, religious convictions, or just your candid opinions, BEGENONE allows you to express them openly without the apprehension of being silenced.
As Areesh Alam, The CEO and FOUNDER, I have personally experienced multiple instances where my ability to comment was restricted on other social networks, such as Instagram, where I believe freedom of speech has been constrained. Although these platforms are very reputable and useful in many other instances of our social interactions which I personally appreciate but certain industries are heavily affected by them as well, such as Politics and Religion.
Notable instances include [note: “Tell us” button do not work, I hope they fix it]:
Positivity Powerhouse:
Fed up with negativity pervading your social media feeds? We understand! BEGENONE is designed to be a haven of positivity, offering content that uplifts, inspires, and empowers you. Our goal is to highlight content that boosts your spirit, body, emotions, and mind. Research has demonstrated the tangible effects that continuous exposure to social media negativity can have on mental health. For instance, a study in 2020 featured in the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology established a connection between heightened social media usage and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Let’s opt for a platform that enhances our overall well-being!
By NIH – National Institute of Health
“A number of studies have been conducted on the impacts of social media, and it has been indicated that the prolonged use of social media platforms such as Facebook may be related to negative signs and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress [10-15]. Furthermore, social media can create a lot of pressure to create the stereotype that others want to see and also being as popular as others.”
Why was there a need for our service?
Social Media Companies are misusing their powers and misinterpreting the laws such as the Freedom of Speech and expression. More and more people are getting sick of this and they want a platform where they can speak freely without hesitation and can cut themselves from the negative agendas of Social Media.
“People want something Genuine, Real, something on which they can really speak-up without hesitation, a Platform which they can say is a Genuine, Reality based and Authentic World Of Online Media. A Platform that cuts-off the negative Agendas of Social Media such as HomoSexuality, Feminism, Toxic Masculinity, Devilish Acts Agendas to name just a few and Pushes them to be Mentally, Physically, Psychologically, Emotionally, and Spiritually Strong.”
“That is why, WeReform decided to create a platform that could listen to the public, allow them the right to freedom of speech without hesitations, and lead them to the right path and disallow any negative content that could lead people to their downturn in any way.”
Overview of BEGENONE: Redefining Video Sharing with Advanced Features and Ethical Guidelines.
Platform Features
BEGENONE offers an array of both major and minor features designed to enhance user experience and engagement. Our major features include a sophisticated Impression System which streamline navigation and interaction for our users. Additionally, minor features such as ClipZ and Interactive Communities foster a dynamic environment where users can connect and share content effectively.
Business Model
Our business model is primarily based on Monthly Subscription Plans, differing significantly from the traditional advertising models prevalent in the industry. While BEGENONE is free to use for basic functionalities, access to premium features requires a subscription tailored to user needs. This approach not only ensures a cleaner user experience but also aligns with our goal to support content creators in achieving sustainable growth without the pressures of conventional advertising.
Competitive Advantages
Unlike other platforms, BEGENONE’s unique business model does not primarily rely on traditional advertising, which often demands significant expertise and can deter spending among smaller entities and individuals. Our Impression System offers a competitive edge by enhancing how advertisements are perceived and interacted with, thereby improving both financial outcomes and audience retention.
Ethical Commitment and Content Policy
At BEGENONE, we commit to maintaining a platform that promotes ethical content and discourages the dissemination of negative agendas. We strictly enforce policies against content that could psychologically, emotionally, or spiritually demean others. Each piece of content is reviewed to ensure it adheres to our standards, providing notes on videos that might include sensitive topics, to educate and inform viewers responsibly.
Our guidelines extend to teaching and promoting Discipline, Moral Behaviors, Ethics, Spirituality, and Laws—both governmental and those pertaining to human nature and life. This educational approach is designed to foster a stronger, more informed community, enhancing our platform’s appeal from spiritual, emotional, and psychological perspectives, which in turn boosts audience and customer retention.
Expansive Content Range:
BEGENONE is not limited to conventional video sharing; our platform embraces a wide array of content types including games, entertainment, fun activities, and vlogging. This diversity allows users from all backgrounds and interests to find a place where they can express themselves creatively and engage with content that resonates. While we encourage a variety of expressions and topics, we maintain a strict policy against vulgar, nude, or any other content that violates our ethical standards. This policy ensures that all content on BEGENONE remains appropriate, respectful, and conducive to a positive community experience.
CATEGORIES
Note: These categories are designed to organize and elevate the platform’s content, facilitating easy navigation and targeted engagement. By clearly presenting these categories, we not only streamline the user experience but also inspire our users to aspire to greater heights in their personal and professional lives.
Community, Not Control:
At BEGENONE, our leadership approach diverges from traditional models found on many platforms, where rigid rules are established between users and owners that typically cannot be altered. We believe in a dynamic system that adapts to the evolving legal and cultural landscapes.
Our Strategy
Our legal team meticulously analyzes the laws of each jurisdiction where BEGENONE operates, identifying any loopholes that historically may have favored certain individuals unfairly—acknowledging this can be controversial, yet it is essential for ensuring fairness. Our primary focus is on promoting freedom of speech and inclusivity while aligning with legal norms and curbing behaviors that could disrupt societal harmony, such as displacing human origins.
Governance Structure
BEGENONE adopts a governance model inspired by communal principles, where rules apply uniformly across all levels, including our leadership team. Importantly, as the founder, Areesh Alam, I operate within a framework that acknowledges the significant impact of my decisions on the platform. This model grants me the authority to make executive decisions that can override standard procedures if deemed necessary for maintaining balance and fairness. This approach ensures that leadership remains responsive and adaptable, providing a significant advantage in delivering exceptional service while upholding our community standards.
Operational Mechanisms
We will in future established a team of leading psychologists, physicians, and legal experts who will deliver nuanced feedback and guide our content moderation strategies.
Our internal team of moderators, bolstered by sophisticated machine learning technology, monitors text-based content for violations such as inappropriate captions, titles, and descriptions.
We also have a dedicated team that scrutinizes content from verified accounts, particularly focusing on videos and images, to ensure compliance with our standards.
No Algorithms, Just Choice:
I understand the title might seem a bit misleading, but here’s the deal: BEGENONE isn’t entirely devoid of algorithms. However, users on BEGENONE have the capability to tailor their algorithm to a significant degree. We’re aware of the fatigue that comes with algorithms controlling your feed. That’s why, on BEGENONE, you have the freedom to curate the content you wish to engage with. Connect with individuals and communities that align with your interests, and naturally encounter new viewpoints, free from any undue influence.
This marks just the onset of the BEGENONE saga. We’re currently in the development phase, yet we’re thrilled to construct this platform alongside you, the users. Keep an eye out for further announcements, and should our mission for a more authentic and uplifting online community resonate with you, we invite you to join the BEGENONE movement!

As the CEO & Founder of WeReform, I address you during what is undeniably a turbulent time globally. The shadows of conflict loom large over us, with ongoing strife in regions such as Palestine and Israel, Ukraine and Russia, and various other areas witnessing unrest. These are not just news items; they are urgent ⚠️ humanitarian crises affecting millions of lives. At WeReform, we believe in standing up for the betterment of society, particularly for those who are hardest hit by the devastations of war.

In line with our commitment to Social Responsibility and Humanitarian Aid, We are compelled to place the needs of those suffering above our corporate priorities. We pledge to allocate 15% to 30% of all funds raised from this campaign to crisis-hit regions including Palestine, Ukraine, and other nations where there is a need. It is within this context that We announce our pledge to allocate 10% to 20% of our generated profits to support crucial causes. Our focus will be directed towards providing relief in Palestine and Ukraine and other nations, where the need for humanitarian aid is pressing. Moreover, recognizing the widespread impact of conflict, we will also extend our support to combat poverty and food shortages in other war-torn regions including Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Our contributions will include essential supplies such as food, water, clothing, and other necessities to assist those in dire need.
To ensure transparency and efficacy in our efforts, WeReform will collaborate with the most reputable non-profit organizations operating within these regions, particularly those based in Gaza and similar locales. These organizations are on the ground, directly assisting those impacted by conflict and disaster. We commit to securely transferring the funds to these bodies and will provide detailed receipts and reports to our donors—YOU, our supportive community—who make this aid possible.

After this initial period, we will evaluate our financial standing with the intent to continue our support to the fullest extent possible. Rest assured, our support will not cease abruptly; we are committed to ongoing contributions, adjusting as needed based on our financial health while ensuring that we continue to make a meaningful impact.
Moreover, in alignment with our ethos of promoting free expression and information sharing, WeReform’s Social Network—BEGENONE will uphold the principles of openness on our platform. We will allow and actively promote all types of content, including posts that may be considered controversial, such as those concerning Palestinian Issues. Unlike other platforms that restrict or diminish the reach of such content, we are committed to enhancing visibility for these discussions, ensuring they receive the audience they deserve.
