Bridgetown2026-05-14T17:05:26-07:00https://plus.intuitivefuture.com/feed.xmlWe’re building an independent, subscription-based education platform which puts people over profits, protocols over platforms, and community over corporate malfeasance.Jared White2026-05-14T00:00:00-07:002026-05-14T00:00:00-07:00repo://posts.collection/_posts/2026-05-14-new-blog-who-dis.mdUncharacteristically of me, when I first launched the **Intuitive+** membership site back in 2023, I didn't include any ability to post any updates (aka a _blog_). Now I do agree with those who say that not every Web site needs a blog. However, every **content publisher** _definitely_ needs a blog…even if the bulk of that work is incorporated within podcasts and email newsletters. {: style="width: clamp(110px, 25vw, 240px); float: right; margin-block-start: -.33rem; margin-inline-start: .66rem; margin-inline-end: -.5rem; border-radius: var(--wa-border-radius-circle); shape-outside: circle(50%); shape-margin: .66rem; box-shadow: var(--wa-shadow-l)"} So here we go: **FIRST POST!** 🤘 Let's start with some basics. What even _is_ Intuitive Future, or Intuitive+ for that matter? **Intuitive Future is my media production brand.** It is the home for podcasts such as [Vibe Coded](https://vibe.coded.show) and newsletters such as [Cycles Hyped No More](https://buttondown.com/theinternet). **Intuitve+** is a subscription program. By [becoming a member](/), you support these _ad-free_ publications with your hard-earned money. I don't have any corporate sponsors, techbro sugar daddies, or a giant wad of investor cash sitting in a shiny big bank. _I don't even use AI!_ 😂 I produce everything myself from start to finish, thanks to a daily regimen of [neuromaxxing](https://jaredwhite.com/articles/neruomaxxing), a dash of true grit, and a pinch of madness. 🤪 It's kinda wild to think about, but somehow I've managed to amass [over four thousand followers on Mastodon](https://indieweb.social/@jaredwhite) purely organically. Look, I'm a relative "nobody". When Elon Musk bought Twitter, I ran lickety-split out of there and set up camp in the **Fediverse**. _Best thing which could have ever happened to me._ 🙌 I like to think this has given me a perspective few others in the "tech industry" seem to have. **I am all about open protocols.** When it comes to content, I firmly believe that ActivityPub & RSS (oh yeah, [here's our feed!](/feed.xml)) are the true backbone of the Internet. Podcasts, Blogs, and the open Social Web. Now if we could only wean ourselves off of that _damn YouTube_, we'd be all set… That's what I write about and talk about on my shows. Yes, I cover all sorts of batshit crazy antics getting thrown at us by the billionaire oligarchs—the "Epstein class"—but I also try to put a positive spin on things. **It's not enough simply to complain. We need to paint a picture of what comes next.** Some of that is backing away a bit from technology altogether: building strong and resilient grassroots communities of people from many different walks of life and creative backgrounds outside of Big Tech. Yet it's also about recognizing what's good about (some) technology and **ensuring it will propagate ethically** in ways which will not cause additional harm. So if you, yes YOU care about a World-Wide Web free of extractive corporate malfeasance, a vibrant and thriving **Indie Web**, and you want to celebrate the wins as [ResistanceNet](https://buttondown.com/theinternet/archive/a-tale-of-two-cyberspaces/) ✊ takes back control, then why don't you join us? 💸 [Sign up for Intuitive+ today](/) and vote with your wallet for a more circumspect and informed world.Jared White
