April was an awesome month here at The Lunduke Journal. And the month ahead is shaping up to be even better.
Here’s a quick end-of-the-month wrap up: The new monthly PDF is available, Lunduke’s favorite articles from April, Live-streaming coming to The Big Sunday Tech Show… and The Lunduke Journal is now the tech publication with the least amount of ads or promotions (by far).
Which is rad.
No Ads. And only one day of promotion per month.
The Lunduke Journal is pretty gosh darned unique in the Tech Publication world:
We never run any advertisements
We never take a single penny from Big Tech
Cool, right? It means we are never influenced by any tech company. Let’s take that a step further by standardizing on this:
No promos in all podcasts
Minimal links at the end of all articles
Only have promotions or sales one day per month
In fact, if you’ve been listening to the recent podcasts (and the Big Sunday Show), you know that there are already almost zero bits of promotion in Lunduke Journal shows. Which is awesome.
In essence, The Lunduke Journal now has less of anything “promotion-y” than any major Tech Publication (or YouTube Channel… or Podcast…) in existence. And that is all thanks to all of you amazing subscribers. You’ve made this possible.
This was inspired by the absolute onslaught of advertisements we get bombarded with when reading most tech news sites. Overlays, banner ads, pop up ads… ads covering more of my screen than the actual articles. It’s insane. And it seems like most of the big podcasts and YouTube Tech channels aren’t much better. Let’s make The Lunduke Journal a sanctuary… a place where we can not be bombarded with 300 ads on every page.
Last Day of the Month: Lifetime Sub deal is beck for a day!
Only one day of sales or promotions? For a whole month?! Oh, boy. Well, shoot. Better make it good then!
