The media that covers music business news, music marketing and music tech is increasingly behind a paywall. But Hypebot provides 100% free music business news and always will.

This is not a criticism of other sites who are doing what they need to do to survive.

[Hypebot](https://www.hypebot.com/), was launched 20+ years ago to explore the changing music business. We have always operated as a lean labor of love. Alana Bonilla and I mix daily original journalism alongside republished stories from expert sources.

We’ve been supported by genuinely [artist-centric company](https://artists.bandsintown.com/managed-actors?ref=hypebot.com) [Bandsintown](https://www.bandsintown.com/?ref=hypebot.com), who acquired Hypebot in 2019.
