So, what did you choose?

[View this email in your browser]( Think freely and question everything, including Facebook's motives. Huge thanks to those of you who clicked through to check out The Mind Unleashed on [Patreon]( and especially those who signed up to support us monthly. You're receiving this email because you opened the last one. We know you care and, as this really is a dire situation, we want to make sure you have all the information you need to know the reality that The Mind Unleashed—and all independent media outlets—are currently facing. In our last email I briefly touched on the major disparity between the number of fans The Mind Unleashed has on Facebook and the number of people that actually see and react to our posts. Today I thought would show you graphic representations of that data. Below you can see our post reach for the last week. We started out reaching a total of just over 4 million people per day. Post reach is the total number who have seen our posts via our page, our posts in your newsfeed, shares appearing in newsfeeds, etc. Right off the bat you can see that, one week ago, our total post reach per day (The Mind Unleashed averages 15 posts/day) was less than half of our total followers. And since this number includes shares, we can assume that Facebook was putting our posts into the newsfeeds of much fewer than half our fans. The next image shows our post reach from the last month. We have noticed sharp declines in post reach like the ones shown below, after posting content most likely deemed unacceptable by Facebook, but without actually being informed of such. Topics that have previously affected our reach appear to be certain political posts, Jeffrey Epstein, the war machine, censorship, and Julian Assange. The downward curve that was highlighted in the previous image and can be seen on the right side of the graph below, began immediately following the televised Democratic presidential debates in Detroit. While its true these images only represent our Facebook interactions and not the actual traffic making it to our website, as I mentioned in my previous email, the vast majority of our traffic still comes from Facebook, whether we like it or not. The image below shows our web traffic from all sources—Facebook, Google, Twitter, Minds, this newsletter, referrals, people visiting themindunleashed.com directly, and more. As you can see, The Mind Unleashed is on track to algorithmically disappear without your help. And last but not least, here is what our web traffic has looked like since June 1 of this year. The numbers you see on the left of this graphic are already much less than in previous years, but if we went too far into the past, you wouldn't even see July's traffic on the graph—its really gotten that bad. If you've already visited our [Patreon]( and made the decision to support us, we are so grateful for your help and putting your faith in our outlet. If you read the last email and this one, too, but haven't made the next step in supporting The Mind Unleashed, we hope you'll consider partnering with us today. Even $1 a month helps sustain our operation. Like we've said: we believe news should be free and we will never require our readers to pay a subscription fee to access our content. But because of that, we need some of our readers to step up to the plate and [support us]( so we can continue bringing you the content you love. In solidarity, Emma Editor at The Mind Unleashed If ordinary people really knew that consciousness and not matter or material possessions is the link that connects us with each other and the world, then their views about war and peace, environmental pollution, social justice, religious values, and all other human endeavors would change radically. We seek to disseminate and inspire out-of-the-box thinking and act as a catalyst for people to discover the limitless potential that exists inside us all.
