The Freethinking Times runs on direct reader contributions and the unpaid time of its contributors, not advertising or platform deals. Reader tips go either to the publication’s operating costs (hosting, public-records fees, the occasional travel for reporting) or, when sent through an author’s individual link, directly to that writer. We take no money from advertisers, sponsors, partner networks, or syndication platforms.
