On top of being a great site run by great people who give work to lots of great writers, Stereogum also pay within a few days of filing your copy, which is virtually unheard of in this industry. Subscribe now to their snazzy new site!
For years, advertising has been how Stereogum made money to pay its writers. While we made progress moving away from that model, Google AI search has decimated the business almost overnight. Today we relaunch with a greater focus on subscription. We’d love your support: stereogum.com/2478838/ster...
