Our Mission
-----------

Joystream is a **substrate-based protocol** that **aims** to formalize a shared content platform. It is operated and governed by its users.

Today's web 2.0 is broken and corrupted. Content-creating platforms serve their owners and not their users.

We call for an arrangement where **media platforms are accountable to the people they impact**, which are primarily their users, be it as consumers, creatives, third-party developers, or workers.

It is the absence of such accountability which is the fundamental source of any particular problem at any particular time.
