Why Should I Subscribe?<\/b><\/h2>\n

You are not a Product<\/b><\/p>\n

Having a subscription model takes the power away from the ad companies and puts it into your hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

On big tech platforms that are free to use, you are still paying a price. Your information is being sold to advertisers. When your product is free, as the saying goes, you are the product. <\/span><\/p>\n

Real Creator Independence<\/b><\/p>\n

When you subscribe, your money goes directly<\/em> to supporting the creator. You are the reason the creator doesn\u2019t have to worry about getting demonetized, and frees them up to spend more time creating content. That<\/em> is supporting true independence for the creators you love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Power to the People – Not the Platform<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you join and support content on Locals, you are part of a movement empowering content creators. In this new age of unbridled censorship, Locals is creating a new digital home for the disenfranchised. We are a line of defense for creators against the “all-powerful.” Support real creators, not suits in some corporate office somewhere. <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Locals, we don\u2019t use ads and you aren’t treated like a product. Your contributions go directly to supporting the content creators, and set them free from the stranglehold of other platforms.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
