Okay, I checked it out, here’s my take on Blaze.

It really feels like everything is being shoved in user’s faces. Its a new social media that nobody has heard of, yet there’s clips, AI, direct and group messaging, and the such. For a new user, this really feels like too much to take in at once. The site, in my opinion, really needs to be simplified. Perhaps spend a little longer developing the AI and Clips part, and then gradually roll them out to allow for new and old users to get used to the new features.

The biggest problem, in my opinion, is that the site is built using Wix.

WYSIWYG editors can be useful in some situations. Social media is generally not one of them. You don’t have full control over your site (Wix still hosts the code), you don’t have total say in what happens to users (data collection) and things like that. It is much, much more beneficial to actually learn the programming languages appropriate for running a social media and its associated features. You can use graphical editors like Figma to design webpages and the like, but you really should ditch Wix and go for programming.

Also, you don’t have to go about designing and running a social media alone. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with asking someone else for help with code. I’m sure there are some people on this site who would be pleased to help you.
