Subverse: A community-owned, decentralized news network | Wefunder

Media has become corrupted by sensationalism and polarization. The purely surveillance, ad-driven model is dying and now readers are directly supporting creators they love. We want to facilitate civil discourse and media in a way that gets real information into the minds of our audience

Subverse fills that void

It curates and reports news that is fact-based and balanced to encourage clarity and diversity of thought across its audience. Subverse aims to deliver where other news organizations fall short - by providing insightful stories that are designed to foster understanding, not sunder it

Tim was awarded the 2013 Shorty Award for Best Journalist in Social Media and was featured as a “Time Person of the Year 2011.” Between his Timcast and Tim Pool YouTube channels, Tim’s work has earned 860K+ subscribers and 229M views

Subverse has emerged as the new wave in journalism

It is quickly and successfully expanding the zeitgeist of independent media. Its platform is fueled by a talented team of like-minded media professionals, including journalist Emily Molli and Bill Ottman of Minds.com

In a short few months, Subverse has built a notable base of 130K+ subscribers and its content has earned 3.1M+ views

Subverse videos run about ten minutes long and blanket global and national topics that draw extensive viewership such as Facebook’s reputation, the Mueller report, and France’s Yellow Vest movement

Currently, Subverse has amassed media assets of more than 100 videos, with four new videos produced per week. Some of the interviews feature experts in their field: Dr. Debra Soh (Ph.D. in sexual neuroscience), David Fuller (Rebel Wisdom YouTube Channel), and Geoffrey Miller and Diana Fleischman (evolutionary psychologists)
