Not doubting it necessarily. Just up to this point they really have contributed nothing of value to the company aside ‘name recognition’.
They started 2025 so hot with naming new advisors, a solid shareholder meeting, plans to OTCQB uplist, a plan to launch fully working APP by the summer and have competitions including onsite finalists in the Fall.
The only thing I believe they actually hit their target on was the OTCQB uplist.
We got ghosted by the company during the delay of the launch of app, and now slowly just rolling out features that although I can say are solid, still never appear to move the needle on the investor side, or worse, the app user side.
If this was a new company starting from scratch I’d probably give them a little leeway on the growth of the app itself. This company had a successful app already in Scenebot that generated 300,000 users which is a pretty good head start, and they can’t get anyone to get on it. I lurk the site everyday seeing what’s new and the majority of trending content is Scenebot videos from several years ago.
No matter how good the app is (and to this point, I personally like it and the features presented so far), no promotion, no users means you don’t have a valuable commodity. We’re past the point of ‘its still early’. Its definitely not ‘too late’, but I’d imagine they are losing money monthly without a revenue stream and sooner or later they are going to need to money to keep this app running, and we’ll probably pay for it with dilution.

No promotion outside of X means odds of a future run are very unlikely.
I get internet stock boards are not the ‘be all / end all’ for stock trading, but since I first bought in November 2022, well before Scenebot took over in 2024, the followers from this board (196) and the Stocktwits board (420) has been pretty much around where it is now. No growth at all. If anything, a slow decline in numbers.
I thought the advisory board would help in pushing this thing to their business spaces in order to expand awareness and in turn, drive users on the app. Unfortunately, it seems more and more likely they are just ‘names’ that got paid by in shares for the privilege of using their names in an attempt to add ‘legitimacy’ to the company, but not actually do anything tangible to help with its growth. (at least up through now)
Far inferior penny stocks like, ILUS, CYBL, INND have over 10,000 on Stocktwits and even CE penny stocks like ICOA and AAPT still have thousands of followers on their boards. Yet a legitimate business with a tangible application cannot get any looks?
Based on their lack of promotion (outside of X) for the last couple years or so, I wonder how they ever managed to get Scenebot to over 300,000 users. They just seem so inept at promotion. I was never expecting an overnight surge of users to ignite this thing. But just checking sites like APP Brain for just android user downloads of the App, it’s a little of 50 downloads. If the IOS numbers are anything close to this (I can’t find any), it means in 9 months since the beta launch, around 100 people download the app. I figured at least a ¼ of the Scenebot users would’ve migrated over to Stage.
I guess the question becomes: Exactly what are they waiting for and is THIS their entire plan for promoting the STAGE application moving forward?
I can assure 1 thing: Next ‘bounce’ on the stock, I ain’t falling for it.

If today holds, only about 477,000 shares traded for the month of January. (2 of the days accounted for 260,000 of them), including 10 days of zero volume.
Its not even the stock price anymore that's worrisome. Its the total lack of interest from investors.
The consensus was that launching of the new application was supposed to be the start of something bigger. Feels like investors aren't impressed by what the final product is.
Maybe they should have kept the Scenebot app and just improved that. At least there were active users on that platform. The Stage App looks like a graveyard of old videos with no likes, no follows, and no 'live' performances.

IMO as an investor: As 2025 comes to an end, gotta give the STGZ team a D+ overall.
Things preventing an F is they did at the last minute get website and app going, even if all the pieces (revenue parts) aren't in place yet, also the OTCQB upgrade was nice, even if it didn't add tangible value to the share price.
First half of 2025 grade a solid A- Adding industry pros to help guide company was a great start and the momentum for a summer launch clearly had a lot of investors hyped. The dilution in May that helped kill the May 30th run being the only real negative.
2nd half of year, grade of D-. Hyping a short beta launch, Fall competitions and instead delaying app launch for months without any communication as to why is inexcusable. Main reason why even after all December announcements we are still very bearish (SP wise). I hold no negativity towards difficulties launching a new app that perhaps throws off timelines. I get it.. But to ghost investors (even to this day) on why it delayed 4 months, especially for an OTC company caused a lot of damage and is why we are still treading water above the OTCQB min price of .01 now
They gotta do better next year. They wasted a very bullish public and turned it into just another OTC stock. They are still losing X followers after every piece of good news.
I'm not on board with the this is going to dimes and above crowd as right now I think getting back to .03 is going to be a struggle.
Let's hope they learned from their mistakes in the summer 2025 and give us a hell of a 2026 to make up for.
Good luck to all for a much more prosperous 2026 STGZ year.
