A few figures that have shaped how we think about The Pack's potential to change the music industry. Australia's recorded music market: $717M in 2024. Streaming subscriptions: $509M of that. Federal government music funding: approximately $18M....

The Pack's conservative low-adoption scenario - 30% of a 5M TAM at $9.99/month - generates $152.84M annually in combined direct artist payments and sector development. That's a significant multiplier on current government funding, in the low scenario.

At medium adoption (3M subscribers), the multiplier reaches eight times. At high adoption, thirteen. Projections are projections - they describe what the model produces at a given scale, not what scale will be achieved. But the structural logic is sound.

The government won't fund us… so we're asking our community to help us raise $45,000 to finish it. https://crowdfunding.startsomegood.com/thepackmusiccoop

And one of the major issues for freedom of press is economic independence.

“Guaranteeing freedom, independence and plurality in today’s media landscape requires stable and transparent financial conditions. Without economic independence, there can be no free press. When news media are financially strained, they are drawn into a race to attract audiences at the expense of quality reporting, and can fall prey to the oligarchs and public authorities who seek to exploit them. When journalists are impoverished, they no longer have the means to resist the enemies of the press — those who champion disinformation and propaganda. The media economy must urgently be restored to a state that is conducive to journalism and ensures the production of reliable information, which is inherently costly. Solutions exist and must be deployed on a large scale. The media’s financial independence is a necessary condition for ensuring free, trustworthy information that serves the public interest.”

- Anne Bocandé -
RSF Editorial Director

Thus, if somebody reads this who has too much money lying on their bank accounts (of course, the 1% or 0.1% is here in the fediverse!):

You can be part of the solution. We all know rich oligarchs buying media in order to turn the world into a fascist hell, no?

So, why not financing independent media while committing to their independence?

There is a very interesting media fund, called MDIF:

"MDIF provides debt and equity financing supported by strategic advice to independent media in countries where access to reliable news and information is under threat."

https://www.mdif.org/

You won't make a lot of profit with this investment. But at least your money on the bank doesn't make the world worse.

(yes, personally I believe more in radical media collectives, but the scale here is a different one).

☁️ ENTRE NEBLINA Y ABISMO: EL VIAJE CELESTIAL ENTRE LA PAZ Y EL ALTO ☁️

Al ascender de La Paz hacia El Alto, a 4.150 msnm, la ciudad se cubre de un manto de neblina que envuelve todo en un misterio blanco.

Sin embargo, al descender, el espectáculo cambia: la neblina se disipa, revelando la profundidad majestuosa de La Paz, extendiéndose como un cráter urbano.

Un fenómeno atmosférico inigualable que sólo puede experimentarse entre estas dos ciudades hermanas del altiplano boliviano.
