Hey everyone,

On Friday, as a bit of an experiment, we sent out our first ever discount offer on Tangle subscriptions as a bit of an experiment. We said we were going to give out 50 of the subscriptions for 48 hours (until midnight tonight).

Then the first 50 were bought in the first 45 minutes.

So we opened up 50 more, and they were gone by the end of the day.

So today, we're releasing another 100 subscriptions at a 20% discount (just $40 for the year).

We're calling this deal our "October surprise," named after the major news events that typically happen in late October before an election. But the offer is only good in October, for the next 12 hours, and for the next 100 people who claim it.

Becoming a subscriber unlocks all sorts of new features:

  • You get subscribers-only Friday editions, like last week's post about how to talk to people whose politics you dislike.
  • Other Friday editions include personal essays, original interviews with people in the political world, deep dives on topics readers request, insider info about Tangle and a lot more.
  • Subscribing gets you access to our archive of 500+ posts.
  • You get access to our comments section to interact with other Tangle readers.
  • You get 6 months free to World Politics Review, a global news outlet in the ethos of Tangle.

Perhaps most importantly, you are supporting an independent, ad-free, non-partisan news outlet that has no investors and no outside influence. We are only supported by you. Remember, we only ask you to subscribe because our subscriptions are the only way we make money — it's how we stay independent.

Given that our subscriptions are pretty cheap already (just $4.16/month before the discount) we aren't going to do be able to do this very often, but it's clear there was some demand for this so we're keeping it open for another 12 hours.

If you have any questions, let us know. And if you subscribe before midnight tonight you can still get 20% off. Once you subscribe you can access all our posts here:

Thank you, so much, for supporting us and supporting this mission. Either way, we'll see you tomorrow.

Best,

Isaac Saul & the Tangle team
