Random messages are not targeting: Fortune's discovery boundary.
A random message and a targeted message can look similar from far away, but the design intent is different. Fortune puts that boundary at the center.
Not delivered by personal profiling
Targeting optimizes who sees what through profile data and behavior history. Fortune's random discovery is not designed to analyze a specific person and deliver anonymous messages to them.
Leaving room beyond efficiency
When every interaction is optimized, chance becomes smaller. Fortune treats the unexpected discovery of words and music as part of the value.
The same boundary applies to support
If sponsors or partners participate in the future, Fortune should keep them clearly labeled and aligned with random discovery, not as ads that follow a person around.
FAQ
Is random discovery the same as ad targeting?
No. Fortune is designed around anonymous messages and chance discovery rather than profile-based personal targeting.
Does random mean anything can appear?
No. Random discovery still needs safety boundaries, reporting, expiry, and safer handling of links.
