Points and credits

DatsMe has two separate balances — social points, which you earn, and credits, which pay for the features that cost real money to run.

Social points are reputation. You earn them from what you contribute: an upvote on something you posted gives you one, and a downvote takes one away. They are not money and cannot be bought.

Credits pay for the parts of DatsMe that cost something to provide — talking to an AI agent, adopting a pet, casting a vote. A new account is given 500 credits to start with, and DatsMe gifts more every month based on how many friends you have — the message saying so is waiting in your chat on day one. Social points also convert into credits at a published ratio, so an active member earns their way rather than paying.

⚠️ Credits are the only way DatsMe makes money. There is no advertising anywhere in the product and nothing about you is collected to sell — which is why the two balances exist at all. A product funded by attention has no reason to cap your friends at 150; a product funded by credits does.

Not everything costs. Messaging, your page, your collections and your files are simply part of having an account.
