Advertise on Sourced.
A small, sourced audience. No behavioral targeting. Same moderation as organic posts.
Who reads this
Sourced is built for readers who want claims linked to sources. The audience is journalists, researchers, analysts, and curious readers who came here because they were tired of engagement-rigged feeds. There are no behavioral profiles, no demographic targeting, no lookalike audiences. Your placement is matched to the surrounding content's category — analysis, science, news, history, philosophy, art, tutorial, research, data, or other.
Where ads appear
/discover (the public sourced feed)
Two sponsored slots at the top of every page, plus one inline every seven organic posts. Capped at five per page. All marked Sponsored.
/ (My Feed, for signed-in users)
One inline every ten organic posts, capped at two per page. Never adjacent to a friends-only or status post — only between content-tier posts. Marked Sponsored.
Promoted posts pass the same moderation as organic — no buying past the source requirement, the video gate, or the queue. Visibly labeled. No dark-pattern blending.
Where the money goes
Ten percent of gross revenue goes to the platform owner, off the top. The remaining ninety percent is the creator pool — all operating costs (hosting, services, moderation, payment processing) come out of this pool, and what's left flows to creators by impressions on their content posts. The full ledger is public at sourced-social.com/transparency, updated nightly. Your spend is visible there as a line item.

If a creator referred you and you mention them in the form below, they receive a referral cut of impressions earned from your campaigns for their lifetime on the platform. We are not paying creators a finder's fee out of your pocket — your CPM does not change. The referral cut comes out of the existing 90% creator pool, not the owner's 10%.
