You might see friends today suggesting you support Hard Drive on Patreon today. You know, the funny video games version of The Onion? As a journalist, I will firmly tell you DO NOT GIVE THEM A DIME.
The CEO has pushed out all former staff that have built the site up to its current greatness and has been pushing use of AI to write articles. The staff begged to have a Patreon before basically all being fired, but the idea was refused until now, when it will only line the pockets of a single person instead of hard working writers.
I know they might have provided laughs before, but Hard Drive is a shell of what it was once. Let it die and support the people who actually made those moments of joy possible.
Kevin Podas is just among one former employee speaking out on the subject over on the bird site, there are other corroborating this evidence and dropping more.
Seriously, DO NOT SUPPORT HARD DRIVE! Their CEO does not deserve to rake in profits after exploiting their entire staff.
I always come with multiple sources. This one gets a bit long to reasonably screenshot and has issues for providing good captioning, so I'll be sadly linking directly to the bird site for this source:
