One shared copy
Post something that fades as they watch.
Every view wears it down. Permanently. If your fans want it back, they’ll have to rally together.
Free to post. Images, GIFs, and MP4s welcome.
Nothing here
lasts by default.
A post on OnlyOnce is not a copy in a feed. It’s one shared thing. Every person who sees it changes what the next person gets.
01
Post it.
Drop an image, GIF, or MP4. Choose how quickly it should fade and send it to your fans.
02
It fades as it’s seen.
Every view erodes the same shared copy. The reach goes up. The image wears down. No one gets a pristine replay.
03
Fans keep it alive.
If it matters, people rally. When the drop reaches its revive goal, it returns in full for everyone.
The mechanic
Attention leaves a mark.
Most platforms make copies feel infinite. OnlyOnce turns each view into visible decay. The work becomes more scarce as attention grows.
Entropy, enforced by math.
Image integrityViews
Your fans don’t
just watch.
Scarcity gives every view weight. Revival gives your community a reason to move together.
For creators
Turn passive views into real urgency.
Set the pace. Drop the work. Let your audience decide whether it disappears or becomes worth saving.
For fans
What you love survives because you showed up.
See it before it fades. Rally others when it’s worth bringing back.
A few things
before it’s gone.
What does “fading” mean?
Each view permanently degrades the one shared version of a drop. Later viewers see less than earlier viewers did.
Can a faded drop come back?
Yes. Fans can rally around a drop. Once the community reaches its revive goal, the work is restored to full.
Is the fade really permanent?
Until a successful revival, yes. Views move the drop in one direction: toward gone.
Is OnlyOnce free?
Yes. OnlyOnce is in community mode right now, so posting, viewing, and rallying are free.
Make the next view count
Post it once.
Let them keep it alive.
Your work doesn’t need another forever feed. Give it a pulse, a lifespan, and an audience with something at stake.
