  1. It is extremely rare I will be even slightly interested in a sponsor. It happens maybe twice a year, if that. Ground news was interesting enough to get me to click the link, and honestly, I was all in to buy a vantage subscription until... everything on the landing page was yankville focused. The Harvard story your covering is more an academia story of international relevance rather than a yankville focused story. Honestly, for the most part, I couldn't care less what's happening in yankville. It's just not an important place. What I want is news about oceania, sopac, sea and europe. In particular I care about news from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, China, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Russia, South Africa, DRC, Saudi Arabia, UAE & Canada. But the general regions too. From my understanding of the landing page sales pitch they don't offer news from any of those countries. If I've misunderstood something please correct me. If not, I hope someone from ground news reads this comment and takes my request to heart. I can see amazing potential for the service, but it needs to have relevant news sources. Also, this line in the ground FAQ seems ominous, particularly because it's overtly awkward. "Ground is backed by a handful of mission-aligned independent individual investors" Makes it feel like there's something to hide
