The Counter-Currents Newsletter, August 2019
Posted By Greg Johnson On In North American New RightDear Friends of Counter-Currents,
There’s good news and . . . more good news.
The first good news is that in terms of traffic, August was a very strong month for Counter-Currents, the best month so far in 2019. We had more than 20,000 more unique visitors than in July, more than 50,000 over what we had in June! Although our traffic dropped at the start of 2019 due entirely to new search engine stealth censorship, people are finding new ways to get to Counter-Currents, as they have done in the past.
In July we were deplatformed from yet another credit card processor. This was a major blow. The additional good news is: We now have another solution in place, but realistically who knows how long these sorts of things will last.
It is becoming increasingly clear that deplatforming might no longer allow me to continue supporting Counter-Currents through book sales and small donations from a large number of supporters. There may come a day — very soon, actually — when I simply can no longer take conventional online payments at all. At that point, I will only be able to receive money through:
- Crypto currencies
- The mail
And not a lot of our supporters will make that transition, unfortunately.
Realistically, that means that if Counter-Currents is going to continue to grow, we must cultivate a smaller circle of high-commitment, high-dollar patrons. I know you are out there. Until now, you have been part of a much larger donor pool, and you could take that into account when calculating your support. Now, we can no longer take that for granted. So I would like to talk to you about increasing your support to make Counter-Currents less vulnerable to deplatforming. If you want to help out, please contact me at [email protected] [2].
Speaking personally, August was an unusually productive month. I published more than 31,000 words of new material, enough for a small book.
In August, we added 80 pieces to our webzine, including 6 podcasts. Our Top 20 articles and full stats are below.
