>>This video’s first part<< is his pitch for the website if you want to hear it from him directly.
But basically he wants to make a website that is fully ad-free, truly independant and community-funded, not funded by publishers or venture capital. With pieces written not by AI bots but actual people that don’t need to pander to SEO in their titles or articles.
Love skillup and their cover ups! I watch all their stuff so for me this was easy to justify support for. Also a very clean website goddamn! Excited to see how this goes.
I enabled javascript on this website just for it to tell me to go away lmao
What ? Why ? I’m using ublock origin in hard mode and I don’t have any problem.
I also use UBO and I scrolled down a bit and got a pop up saying the content is for donators only so I closed the tab.
Been following the guy on youtube for a while and I love the initiative, but damn, I find it hard to justify 10€ a month for just a single dedicated gaming publication. I expect I will support them every few months or so, but yeah, to me 100€/year seems too hefty.
Also what worries me is that this model has been tried, before the days of ad-supported web, and didn’t fare so well, so why would it work now?
Yeah, that’s pretty expensive ngl. It would be nice if they introduced a lower tier 🤔
so why would it work now?
From what he says, it seems that he is counting on the fact that he already has an audience from his youtube channel, and that he won’t have to start from nothing.
It’s also the only model that’s survived after the ad-supported web. If you’re not IGN, this is the only way games media works.
People have so much more money now! 🙃
In Italy we have FinalRound.it that is ad free, independent and donation based (only in Italian though)
Great idea, immediatly tarnished by using third party tracking tools (Google Analytics).
Are you sure ? I don’t see any connection to google analytics in ublock origin.
