FAQ. In plain English.

I’m Maceo. I started We Them Media in 2021 to film the people building on Ethereum, in the places they actually live and work. Season 01 opened June 1, 2026 and runs through November 30. Right now we are releasing ETH Conf coverage. Two community projects are coming from Marissa and Kafani.

I do. The team is nine of us now, across the United States and Nigeria, with contributing reporters filing from six more countries. We meet on Zoom. Full team on the Team page.

Yes. Season 01 opened June 1, 2026 and runs through November 30, 2026. Everything ships as it lands on YouTube under @WeThemMediaHQ.

In Q1 2026 I went out alone in Denver with a camera and shot 100+ street interviews on zero budget. Philadelphia is in active production now. There is also Let’s Talk About ETH: Around The World, the podcast that started all of this. Season 1 ran six episodes and is wrapped. Everything is on the Portfolio page.

Our street interview programme, and the thing the network is running on right now. Somebody is asked a question on their own street, on camera, and answers it before they walk away. Contributors film them wherever they live and the catalogue fills up week by week. The first campaign runs to 4 November and we are going for 150 of them. To send one in, post it to X and tag @WeThemMediaHQ: we pick it up from there and it goes on our YouTube with your name and city on it. Everything else is on the One Question page.

Yes, and you do not need to have filmed anything. It is our community townhall, every Wednesday at noon New York time, 5pm Lagos, 7pm Nairobi. We watch street interviews together, talk about them, and cover what the team is working on. Supporters, contributors and people who only read the newsletter are all in the same room. RSVP on Discord.

Wages first. Two people are on payroll: Gift, who runs social, and Bayo, who runs branding and media. Recurring support goes to employing them. After that: the tools, the payment rails, and the cost of keeping the catalog free and open for everyone else. Whatever supporters do not cover, Maceo covers himself. The running total is on the Ask page, updated as the number changes.

Yeah, it’s media. That’s the actual product. YouTube is our primary channel today and we’ll keep using it. Onchain is the backup, every story gets a permanent record on Optimism, with the file itself on Arweave. That means YouTube or Substack can demonetize or yank a post and the work still doesn’t disappear. The other difference is how it gets paid for. Community bounties and monthly supporters carry it, not subscriptions or ads, and the bylines come from ten countries rather than one desk.

Pictures Or It Didn’t Happen. A bounty platform. Anyone can post a question with a dollar amount attached, and a community member shoots the answer for the bounty. We use it to crowdfund specific stories. Browse the open We Them Media bounties at poidh.xyz/a/wethemmedia.

Through Fractured Atlas, our fiscal sponsor, so contributions are tax-deductible in the US. The founding roll closes at $1,000 a month, and everyone who joins before then stays named on it. Cancel anytime. Tiers and the running total are on the Ask page.

Not for monthly support. That runs through Fractured Atlas. There is no token attached and nothing to trade. Separately, the tokens of patronage we minted on Nouns Builder are still live. We stopped leading with them and we do not link them here, but they work and we still count anyone who backs the work that way. Ask and we will send you there.

No. Supporters receive credit, not control. Maceo and the editorial team make every editorial call. If you want to fund a specific story, do it on poidh. Every question is public the second it’s posted, so anyone can see what’s being asked and who asked it.

We size the season to whatever the support is. Every dollar that comes in shows on the Ask page the day it lands. Six real months beats promising twelve and faking it.

We post seven days a week. YouTube is the main channel: @WeThemMediaHQ. Plus Spotify, TikTok, Instagram, and the Discord. All in the footer.

DM any of our social pages and it gets to him. Instagram, X, or TikTok. The Discord works too.

Film a One Question street interview, post it to X and tag @WeThemMediaHQ. That is the front door and there is no application. You can also take on an open poidh bounty on our page, ship the work, and tag us on socials. We’ll amplify what’s strong and be in touch. Happy hunting.

DM any of our social pages and tell us what it is. If it is something you want documented, or something already shot that deserves a bigger audience, we will coordinate with you on how to get the word out. That might mean putting a bounty on it, amplifying what you have already made, or connecting you with a contributor nearby. The work moves because people tell us what is worth filming.
