Why Support HotHardware

HotHardware has been on the internet for over 20 years. That's a long time running and a lot has changed for independent Tech journalism since we first started back in 1999. With the rise of ad blockers and falling ad prices, it's getting harder for true independent publishing to pay hard-working staffers and remain profitable. However, we've been truly independent for over two decades and would like to keep it that way (versus selling out to big corporate). That's where you can help.

HotHardware is all about balanced, unbiased and deep tech journalism. However, our goal is always to make our coverage digestible, so even that hardest of hardcore geeks gets the insight they deserve without boring mainstream readers to tears.

And though HotHardware started as a print media web site, we're also of course on YouTube with reviews, on-sire event coverage, and our 2.5 Geeks Podcast...

Here are some example of our written coverage at HotHardware:

We also provide live industry event coverage at major shows like CES, Siggraph, GDC, E3 and PAX - with coverage on both our YouTube channel and of course our little empire on the web, HotHardware.com.

As a critical patron, your support will allow us to expand our services to cover a wider variety of leading-edge technologies and maintain a balance between our advertising revenue requirements and editorial scope, that will allow us to remain the independent voice we've been for over 20 years now.

Thank you for your support over the last two decades. We hope we can count on you as a patron as well, and we're happy to offer a few perks to go with your elevated status!
