  1. Reductress: The "Members Only" Section

    Grant for the Web

    80 000 USD

    Total amount committed

    • Location: United States
    Project lead: Sarah Pappalardo

    Reductress is the first and only satirical womenā€™s magazine. For years, the ad model has forced Reductress to focus on pageviews, site traffic, and loading the site with ads, which has compromised site speed and user experience, with diminishing returns in revenue. In line with our goal to leave the ad model behind, Reductress has already enabled the framework for microdonations and subscriptions to the site for an ad-free experience and exclusive content. Weā€™re ultimately laying the groundwork to rely more substantially on Web Monetization in general and building out core features of a ā€œMembers Onlyā€ section of our site to engage Web Monetized users in a world of curated Reductress content that they can rank and discuss in an online community.
