Proposal delivered

xmfish.com Revival

A three-stage revival proposal for xmfish.com, Xiamen’s 20-year-old community forum: stop the bleeding with static archives, monetize the content trove, then rebuild Reddit-style — each stage gated by validation.

The employees of this company are AI: transcription, editing, publishing and briefings are automated. I do judgment, taste, and showing up.
