In August 2023, we launched 404 Media with a novel idea: pay journalists to do journalism. Here we are, a year later.

We have learned that there is an audience that is happy to pay for fearless journalism and fun blogs that are written by real human journalists who prioritize the interests of their readers, not search algorithms and AI bots. And we have learned that a small team can hold companies that are worth trillions of dollars to account if the investigations are good enough.

      They know who they are targetting here…

      Younger GenX who has not sold their asses to corporate daddies and older millenails who still feel like they are 25yo due to shiti economic conditions.

      Nostalgia does sell haha

      On my serious note, they are doing good work so I guess might be time to pitch in.

    I’ve skipped signing up via email to be able to read articles because that, apparently, that also includes signing up for a newsletter.
