LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Hey,

I’ve put together another Weekend Red Pills for you to enjoy. A lot of effort goes into these Saturday aggregates filled with news, sports, and entertainment articles all neatly lined up for easy perusing.

And of course, there’s the memes. Some people check out Weekend Red Pills strictly for the memes! Yeah, I see you. You’re like a kid that only reads the cartoons in the newspaper and that’s totally okay. It’s the weekend and perhaps you just want something light and amusing—I get it! You can enjoy the memes and cartoons and assorted screenshots I collect on my phone each week and skip the news if you feel like taking a news break.

As you probably know by now, these aren’t the only posts I do—you get five to six posts per week from News Detectives.

To offer this requires a significant amount of time.

I want to thank my paid subscribers—a.k.a. the “Private Eyes”—for your support. You keep me going and I’m grateful that we crossed paths. You not only see value in this newsletter—you are giving something back and your love motivates me to continue delivering a quality product.

What you may not know is that the income from this newsletter is not anywhere near a level that would enable me to write and create content full time on Substack. If I had that much time to devote to News Detectives—wow! I could do so much more.

For right now, I’d like to keep the content mostly open to everyone—including free subscribers. However, I may need to look into utilizing pay walls more often.

Recently, I set up a page on Buy Me a Coffee. I like to think of it as an online tip jar and I set it up for longtime free subscribers who may not necessarily want a yearly subscription but would like to use my digital tip jar whenever they feel like giving my work some support. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/MatthieuLumiere

I appreciate every member of this community. I’d like to get to know more of you—if you never leave a comment—please do! I’d love to hear from you!

Cheers,

Matthieu
