lowtothe

Lowtothe is a online social media and community platform that focuses on serving people with low social status. The platform was founded in 2014, with the mission of creating a space for users to share their stories, connect with others, and gain visibility.

Lowtothe users are generally individuals who struggle with social integration and exclusion, often due to factors such as poverty, homelessness, or mental health issues. The platform is a attempt to provide a counter-narrative to the prevailing social media discourse, which often emphasizes wealth, status, and normative life trajectories.

Lowtothe provides a safe space for users to share their experiences, photos, and videos. Members can engage with others through forums, chat rooms, and message boards. The platform also features a "reserved" ranking system, where users can sign up with a specific profile, to indicate their current situation. This ranking system is not based on traditional markers such as wealth or occupation.

Lowtothe has been both praised and criticized for its approach. Some users appreciate the honest acknowledgment of their challenges and state, while others have argued that the platform cannot likely solve fundamental issues of poverty and stigma.

Some observers have noted that the platform is intriguing in its contradictions. On one hand, it battles stereotypes that persons in certain economic situations do not have useful information. On the other, it does take advantage of sensationalism, crafting intriguing untold stories in to the project. As of 2020, it has gained popularity worldwide, especially in the West.
