Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I contact you? General correspondence goes to freudiandeathdrive@outlook.com. Social platforms are listed on my homepage, Freudiandeathdrive.com, and direct messages there are monitored, though email is the faster route for anything time-sensitive.
2. Do you make any money from Freudian Death Drive? No. Freudian Death Drive carries no advertising, no sponsorships, and no paid subscriptions, and it operates at a net loss once hosting and domain costs are accounted for. Readers who want to support the work can leave a voluntary tip through Buy Me a Coffee, but nothing here is paywalled and no contribution is expected.
3. How do you choose subjects? Subjects are chosen by interest, usually whatever the news cycle and the current state of internet culture have pushed to the surface. There is no schedule behind it: a figure or a phenomenon gets covered here because it seemed worth examining at the time.
1. Can I suggest a subject? Yes!! Recommendations can be sent to freudiandeathdrive@outlook.com and are read, though whether one gets covered depends on whether it holds my interest and whether there is enough public material to work from.
4. Where do you source your work? All research here is my own, and factual claims are drawn wherever possible from the subject's own material: their posts, videos, broadcasts, and public statements. Secondary sources such as reporting, forums, and social media are used to locate primary material and confirm dates, and anything resting only on those is attributed rather than stated as fact. 
5. Do you accept corrections? Yes. Corrections can be sent to freudiandeathdrive@outlook.com, and factual errors are amended with a note appended to the post indicating what changed and when.
6. Will you remove a post if I ask? Demonstrable factual errors are corrected promptly and noted. Requests to remove accurate, sourced material or clearly labeled opinion are declined.
7. Do you offer a right of reply? Subjects who dispute a factual claim may respond in writing to freudiandeathdrive@outlook.com, and substantive responses may be quoted or appended to the relevant piece at my discretion.
8. Are comments moderated? Comments are moderated for spam and nothing else.
