Hi Humane Tech community,

- Do you think the pace of digital media is too fast?
- Do you create content on a weekly basis?

Net Periodic is a periodical for the internet - share content each week and subscribe to contributors:

[www.netperiodic.com](https://www.netperiodic.com/)

**How does it work?**

1. [Sign up](https://www.netperiodic.com/signup) and submit a link
2. Add [topics](https://www.netperiodic.com/topics) to your link — _e.g. science, politics, culture_
3. Subscribe to [contributors](https://www.netperiodic.com/user/andrew) and follow topics
4. Links are [published](https://www.netperiodic.com/home) on **Fridays at midnight GMT**
5. Links are ordered by the number of subscribers

**Why?**

- Every day the New York Times publishes [100 articles](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/05/how-many-stories-do-newspapers-publish-per-day/483845/), YouTube adds [400,000 hours of video](http://videonitch.com/2017/12/13/36-mind-blowing-youtube-facts-figures-statistics-2017-re-post/), WordPress publishes [1 million blog posts](https://wordpress.com/activity/posting/), and [500 million tweets](https://www.internetlivestats.com/twitter-statistics/) are shared on Twitter
- Every day the average person spends [6 hours online](https://www.clickz.com/internet-growth-usage-stats-2019-time-online-devices-users/235102/)
- Net Periodic is an experiment in breaking out of the attention economy
