POW

POW is an independent online magazine that has defied expectations, thriving for 13 years without seeking profit. Founded in June 2018, it has cultivated a dedicated community of 275 members, with 192 actively supporting the project through Patreon. While its creators haven't prioritized financial gain, their estimated earnings from Patreon alone range from $945 to $18,900, a testament to the value members place on the content. POW distinguishes itself from other online magazines through its distinct, irreverent voice, evident in the creator's self-described ethos – a blend of Oscar Wilde's cynicism and the Mad Rapper's raw energy. This unique approach, coupled with a commitment to consistent content delivery, explains the sustained engagement and loyalty of its readership over more than a decade. POW's longevity and vibrant community are a testament to its ability to connect with readers on a deeper level than mere financial transactions.
