Finally! A Social Media Site With No Ads, Pictures, Words, Colors, Or Content [UPDATE]









Could Facebook finally be finished? We would have said you were crazy, until we saw Zylch.


What is Zylch? It’s only the newest social media site everyone is buzzing about. If you’ve seen a lot of your friends posting about leaving Facebook for Zylch, you’re not alone: Zylch boasts a social media experience free of ads, sponsored posts, words, pictures, or content of any kind.


Here’s a look at Zylch.co:




Yup. Zylch boasts a clean, simple interface free from clutter and content. Don’t worry about brands jamming your feed on Zylch, because brands are banned from posting anything, as are regular users. Zylch’s mission statement says it all:


Are you sick of brands, corporations, pictures, and words cluttering your social media experience? So are we, and so we did something about it. Come to Zylch, and enjoy what social media really should be about: nothing.


There has already been a big groundswell of support for Zylch:






So far, there seems to be no invite necessary to get started on Zylch, primarily because there are no login screens or accounts of any kind. Founder Chris Davidson explained the site’s philosophy:


“Ads? Selling data to corporations? Sending messages to your friends? These are all the old ways of doing things,” Davidson told us. “Here at Zylch, our goal was to distill social media to what it’s really all about. And we’re pretty sure we did it.”


We can’t help but agree. Will you join Zylch? Let us know!


UPDATE: Well, it seems like the folks at Zylch have already retooled the site! Check out the new and improved Zylch home page below!




Looks like they’re attempting to keep the site’s clean and simple design while experimenting with a slightly different aesthetic. What do you think? Is Zylch.co even better, or has it sold out?

The world feels full of possibility the moment you dig into a salad. Look at me being one of those people who eats salad. I’m really one of them. This is such an innocent time. You’re starting a new, salad-filled chapter of your life and you’re just one of those people who has it together. At this point, you really believe this will be a fulfilling and delicious lunch. Like a fool.


2. Pride

You are literally the healthiest person in the world. Gwyneth Paltrow saw you eating the salad and thought, “I’ll never live up to that.”


3. Fear and Doubt


Fear and Doubt

As the goodies like avocado and cheese and protein start to dwindle, you wonder if this bowl of leaves will really be enough. What have you done? Did you really think this bowl of random stuff could make you happy?


4. Panic

You were put in charge of selecting your own lunch and you chose poorly. Lunch is important and you effed it up big time. And now you’ll have to live with the consequences for the rest of the day.


5. Regret

Why did I do this to myself? The salad dressing is turning the sadness parade that is this “lunch” into a congealed ball of green mush. How does this count as food? There has to be a better way. THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAAAAAAAAAY.


6. Black Hole of Sadness

This salad was like $12 and nothing matters anymore. What is lunch anyway? Just an opportunity to have your heart broken. That’s all it is.


7. Acceptance

I have to shove the rest of these leaves into my mouth.

Did I even eat lunch? I can’t tell. What just happened to me? Would now be a good time to eat an entire box of cereal???
