Noosphere connects top journalists to consumers directly. The first direct-to-consumer news platform, designed by journalists for journalists, enabling you to pay for compelling news content without the corporate control of the old media industry.

I seriously can't tell if this is going to amount to anything... it's like a bunch of VICE journalists starting their own OnlyFans built on @Ghost (which is incidentally very cool) but like... $20 out the gate? That seems like a tough sell.
Then again, few founders have actually been to the front lines of actual war...

@chrismessina This is one hell of a comment, but I can't think of a better way to describe my first impressions.

@anaid it's also kind of like... an app-based magazine? I suppose instead of OnlyFans, maybe Substack is a better comparison, but even then, you pay one fee and get access to everything, so maybe more like @every?

@chrismessina I can imagine a treacherous path to clickbaiting and sensationalism to make the fee palatable. But can also see an experience a la Reddit, where content becomes more credible from the frontline.
Ohh interesting. Love the idea of supporting individual journalists directly - especially in these times of disinformation. I signed up, but is it live already, as I'm getting the "You're in! We will keep you up-to-date on the launch" message?

This is a bold step toward reshaping how we consume news. Giving journalists direct control over their content while enabling consumers to support quality reporting without corporate filters is something the industry has needed for a long time.
Congrats on the launch!
Best wishes and sending lots of wins to the team :)
that's where all the jobs are going towards - individual performers, gig economy. something we are going to see more of with the advent of ai and small team. personally i think this is great for journalists and brands that want to connect.

I think this is a great idea, but yes, there should be a cheaper plan.
Wonder if they named it after this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noosphere...
