Too Long? Just tell me what is going on.
The DUM News has been undergoing a transformation. After reevaluating our approach, we have decided to eliminate ads and focus on high-quality, in-depth content. We promise accurate geopolitical analysis, ad-free articles, integration with The DUM Show podcasts, and a streamlined follower process. Our operations will now rely on reader donations. This shift aims to enhance your reading experience with fewer, but more insightful, articles.

A New Chapter for The DUM News: Enhancing Quality and Reader Experience
When we launched The DUM News, our initial expectation was modest. We anticipated that a few articles might attract some attention and generate modest ad revenue. However, the response far exceeded our expectations. Our content resonated deeply with our audience, highlighting a clear need for the type of news and analysis we provide.
Over the past two weeks, you may have noticed a period of silence from us. For a daily news outlet, this is far from ideal. The inundation of our readers with excessive ads to earn revenue felt cheap and insincere. After some introspection and strategic planning, we’ve decided to implement several changes to ensure we deliver quality content sustainably.
Our Commitment to You
Accurate and Engaging Geopolitical Analysis
Our foremost commitment is to provide accurate and engaging analysis of geopolitics and world news. We understand the importance of reliable information in today’s fast-paced news environment and are dedicated to delivering well-researched, thoughtful insights.
Ad-Free Reading Experience
To enhance your experience, all of our articles will now be ad-free. We have removed banner ads from Google and other advertisers that previously cluttered our site. This decision aims to offer you a cleaner, more enjoyable reading experience.
Integration with The DUM Show
We will continue to post The DUM Show podcasts and related shows on our site. Maybe even a t-shirt or two. You will encounter only one popup prompting you to subscribe to our daily news for free. If you provide your email, the popup will not reappear. If you choose not to subscribe, the popup will reappear after 30 days. This streamlined approach respects your time and choices.
Reader-Funded Model
With the removal of ads, our income from traditional advertising sources will drop to zero. Therefore, we are turning to you, our valued readers, to support us. If you find our content valuable, please consider donating at linktapgo.com/thedumshow. This reader-funded model will enable us to continue providing high-quality news and analysis.
Focused Content Creation
We believe in doing more with less. Instead of trying to cover every possible news story, we will limit our article creation to one, maybe two, articles per day. This approach allows us to delve deeper into each topic, ensuring thorough and insightful coverage. By focusing on fewer topics, we aim to provide a richer, more rewarding experience for our readers.
Moving Forward
We are excited to embark on this new chapter and remain committed to providing you with the best possible news and analysis. Your support and loyalty have been instrumental in our growth, and we look forward to continuing this journey together.
Thank you for being a part of The DUM News community.
Sincerely,
Matthew Speer
