when we launched last year's list of goals, we were at 2,850 paying subscribers. now we have 4,350. that is a WILD leap, and it's enabled us to do all sorts of cool shit (freelancers, a regular contributor, a new podcast, a party (still to come)). here's what we're aiming for in 2025:
4,350 - Where we're at now 4,500 - More frequent pieces from even cooler freelancers. 4,800 - We can pay somebody to write a regular column for the site. 5,000 - We can all do this full-time and not be poor! 5,200 - We can bring on people to help us with more specialized tasks (a dedicated businessperson, someone to focus on our social media accounts and promotion, etc). 5,500 - More merch drops! 5,800 - We can bring on another regular contributor to keep Isaiah company. 6,000 - A second party, and we can cover Luke’s travel costs (unless he decides he never wants to set foot in America again, which would be totally understandable). 6,300 - We can travel to and cover events more regularly. 6,500 - We can hire another full-time staff member!

if you'd like to join the discord and contribute to whatever's happening here, you can do so by subscribing. we're having a $1-for-your-first-month sale on our reader tier -- sadly not the one that grants you discord access -- but it's a good starting point

A long, but great read. This is also to say that i don’t read enough, but I’m glad to be reading more often with @aftermath.site and other outlets like them!

I finally subscribed to @aftermath.site! I’m loving the stories so far. I used to be a big fan of Kotaku in the past, so I’m glad to start following some of my favorite games journalists again!
