Why INFACTED Exists

Every morning I was clicking through a dozen tabs — Rachel here, Dean there, Charlie somewhere else. All independent, all worth reading, all scattered across the internet like dispatches from a war nobody's covering properly.

So I built myself a breakfast table. One place, all of them, every morning. Facts with coffee.

What tipped me over the edge was a video by House of El. In April 2026, her YouTube impressions fell off a cliff — not because her content got worse, not because her audience lost interest. Watch time was stable. Click-through rate was stable. The algorithm had simply decided to stop showing her videos to people. Viewers reported having to manually search for her channel. Some had been quietly unsubscribed without taking any action.

He wasn't alone. David Pakman's data showed the same pattern across independent media. A platform-wide algorithmic shift — no announcement, no explanation, zero transparency — quietly burying voices that millions of people had chosen to follow. One company, making editorial decisions at unprecedented scale, with no accountability to anyone.

That's when I stopped thinking about INFACTED as a personal morning tool and started thinking about it as something that needed to exist. If the algorithm won't surface independent journalism, we build something that does.

INFACTED is what happens when a Swiss-Canadian storyteller gets tired of the algorithm deciding what matters. It's not a media company. It's not a platform. It's a table with enough chairs for anyone who still believes journalism is a public service — not a product.

The riders here didn't leave mainstream media because they gave up. They left because the story was too important to stay. They ride alone — but they don't have to shout into the void alone.

Every morning. Every dispatch. No paywall. No algorithm. No corporate leash.
