PREFERENCE+ ORIGINS · THE FEED REFUGEES

Five refugees.One honest app.Show me what you got.

Every platform broke someone. The feed took Riff's brain, fame took Vera's friends, fear took Lurk's voice, autoplay took Splash's attention span. Then a panda with the best taste on Earth handed each of them a way out.

THE WORLD

Every episode runs on
the same four beats.

Five characters, each damaged by a different social platform — every personality flaw is that platform's design flaw made flesh. Preference+ is where they finally connect over real opinions with real friends.

BEAT 01

The damage

Every platform leaves a mark. Nine hours of autoplay. 400K hollow followers. Eleven silent years.

BEAT 02

The intervention

Panda shows up. No lecture, no pitch. Just P+ and an exit.

BEAT 03

The first honest take

One real opinion, posted to people who actually know you. Terrifying. Then not.

BEAT 04

The response

Real friends answer. That's it. That's the whole magic trick.

Preference PandaTHE RINGLEADER

Preference Panda

Founder · Recruiter · The Pickiest Taste Alive

The giftNot damaged — dangerous. The pickiest eater in the world turned out to have the best taste in the world. No sponsor. No algorithm. No ego.

  • HookA reserve panda so picky he rejects dozens of bamboo batches. Local legend.
  • TurnResearchers notice: his picks are always the objectively best batch. Not just picky. Right.
  • PayoffHe becomes the app’s living philosophy — everyone has a picky panda inside, buried under hype and algorithm noise.

Riff the RaccoonRECOVERING DOOMSCROLLER

Riff the Raccoon

The Doomscroller
📱

The damageNine hours a day of short-form garbage. Consumed everything. Felt nothing. Developed a scrolling callus on one specific claw.

  • HookA dumpster raccoon of standing. A raccoon with a reputation.
  • TurnA cracked phone falls into his dumpster, looping a stranger’s four-hour vacation slideshow. Something in his brain quietly closes for renovations.
  • PayoffPanda finds him at 4AM, eyes glassy, phone at 1%. Hands him P+ and walks away — which is somehow worse.

Vera the PeacockRECOVERING INFLUENCER

Vera the Peacock

The Burned-Out Influencer
💔

The damageFour hundred thousand followers. Zero people who know her coffee order. Owns a ring light she calls, unironically, her real best friend.

  • HookHatched with the single most spectacular tail display in the flock. Objectively. Measurably.
  • TurnOne effortless golden-hour photo detonates: 400K followers in a week, a feather-oil sponsor with a protractor clause.
  • PayoffShe posts her coffee order — unglamorous, unlit — to nine actual friends. All nine reply. All nine get it right.
“These nine do.”Vera — no ring light, nobody watching, which is the point

Professor Owl “Lurk”12 YEARS · 0 POSTS

Professor Owl “Lurk”

The Career Lurker
👁️

The damageTwelve years reading. Zero posts. Forty thousand saved threads filed under a Dewey-Decimal-adjacent horror nobody else has ever been shown.

  • HookJoins a forum as a young owl to ask one earnest question. The only reply: “OK.”
  • TurnDoesn’t post again for eleven years. Reads everything. The corduroy blazer is load-bearing for his confidence.
  • PayoffFriends-only on P+, he posts one small, genuinely good opinion. One reply comes back: “me too.” He frames it. Actually frames it.
“Somebody agreed with me.”Lurk, nearly falling off his branch

Splash the Goldfish3-SECOND ATTENTION SPAN

Splash the Goldfish

The Attention Casualty

The damageOne camping weekend. One propped-up tablet, autoplay on. Three hundred forty consecutive videos later, his nervous system filed for early retirement.

  • HookA perfectly respectable nine-second attention span — for a goldfish, basically an advanced degree.
  • TurnEmerges from the weekend able to sustain exactly one (1) thought per three seconds. His owners call it “buffering.”
  • PayoffPanda watches him one-tap an entire product queue faster than anyone in the building. A three-second attention span isn’t a disorder here. It’s a superpower.
“Finally. A user I respect.”Panda, promoting him on the spot

THE ORIGIN SAGA

Ten episodes.
One founding story.

From a blank repo to a philosophy with a face — the real story of how Preference+ got built, told as key art. Drag through the timeline.

EP 01The Blank Page

The Blank Page

Every empire of taste starts with an empty repo and a belief nobody’s funded yet.

EP 02Claiming The Name

Claiming The Name

Preference+ gets claimed — the plus sign says network, not survey.

EP 03The Product Era

The Product Era

Products first — computers, outdoor gear. Rate what you own before what you watch.

EP 04You Build The Roadmap

You Build The Roadmap

The Ideas board goes live. Users write the roadmap; Panda champions it.

Waitlists, invites, and the unglamorous plumbing of the first real humans.

EP 06Birth Of The Panda

Birth Of The Panda

July 19, 2026. Purple varsity jacket. P+ patch. The app gets a face.

Boards, DMs, friends-only threads — where a debate actually gets settled.

Show Me What You Got

The tagline becomes the philosophy. The harvest comes home.

BONUS REEL

How Splash got his robot body.
Depends who's asking.

Five completely different origin stories. Zero continuity. Total conviction every single time. This is what a three-second attention span does to autobiography.

⚠ NOT CANON — unreliable-narrator bits. The real story is up in his dossier. He just can't remember it.
