The media that covers music business news, music marketing and music tech is increasingly behind a paywall. But Hypebot always provides 100% free music business news with no paywall… ever.

This is not a criticism of other sites. They 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. With Alana Bonilla’s help, I mix daily original journalism alongside republished stories from expert sources.

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

#### Help spread the word that the free [Music Business News](https://www.hypebot.com/news/) and other content on [Hypebot](https://www.hypebot.com/) is always 100% free and never behind a paywall.
