About a month ago, I stumbled upon a website that claims to pay writers fairly and transparently out of advertising revenue. For the life of me, I cannot remember the name of the site, and after trawling through my internet history and various Google searches, I cannot find it again.

They had a distinctive yellow website identity, and I think the name started with 'D' -- something like 'Discourse' or 'Discursive'. They seemed to be a new outfit, intent on disrupting online publishing norms.

I know this is nearly nothing to go on, but I am at my wit's end. Please help me, hive mind: is anyone familiar with the site I'm talking about?

  • Maybe try ctrl(or command if you have that)+h and check you internet history. this sounds like a scam site though, but if you find it pls post it.

  • I have both searched my history and checked it line-by-line manually.

  • huh. well, its a REALLY long shot seeing as it was a month ago, but maybe ctrl+shift+t over and over? this will open closed tabs, and it will probably take a long time to get to a month ago, and if it wasn't in your search history idk if it would show up. probably not a very good option, but im searching the interwebs looking for your site. might get lucky and find it.

  • if you remember anything, from a bit of text to a picture to the shape of an ad on the page, please edit it into your question, the more details the easier to find. thanks.

    Thanks for the comments. It was for short non-fiction, very similar to the style of pieces you might get on Medium. I wish I had more to tell you; I've wasted virtually the whole day trying to find the damn site...

So far have found 2 sites that match the description, although I doubt either of them are the one you're looking for.

  • DistanceWeb which has a vaguely yellow theme and starts with a D
  • nDash which is also a vaguely yellow theme and has a D.

If I find more I will edit them in below;

  • nothing else yet sorry :(

Sorry for bothering everyone -- I found it! It's called Discourse Blog.

https://discourseblog.com/turning-the-page/

It is a left-leaning writing cooperative that seeks to remunerate their contributors fairly. There is also Defector, a sports website with a similar ethos.

Now that I've spent 4+ hours scouring the Internet, I'm going to see what it's like outside...
