FFWD is a new publication by Medium. They offer the smartest takes on YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok. According to their editor, they are seeking “agenda-leading stories about the online video space.”

They pay $1.00 per word, and run 3 stories (1,000 to 1,500 words) per week.

What what are they, exactly?

Think of it like The Economist for online video (meaning at the minute YouTube, Twitch and TikTok), looking at the bigger trends and putting them into all-important context, explaining to readers what their wider impact is for society and how this shifts the way we work, earn money, and spend our time.
