Pixelated - Introducing 9to5Google Pro and Pixelated Pro

Episode Date: July 6, 2026

I love reporting the news, and it's something I've been doing day-in and day-out for well over a decade. The entire 9to5Google team is passionate about the work it does.

So I don't know about you guys, but I want your input on this. I love pixelated. I love recording this podcast. I love speaking to you guys. I don't know who you guys who feel about it. Maybe we should do a little bit more at this. Do you think? I think we should.

Yeah, we should. I think we should. Well, how about we roll this out? Bear with me here. 9 to 5 Google Pro, a brand new tier for pixelated listeners, ad-free podcast. additional episode each week, we get into topics that maybe we don't talk about weekly on a basis, or even the kind of things that you want to ask us.

I don't know. What do you guys think? Think we should do this? I think that's a great idea, Damien. Well, you know Will. We read comments. We read emails. We know that you audience here at Pixelated. We're very grateful, but we love you guys. We care about this podcast as much as you do. We care about Android, Google, the tech space at large. We want to get into the spaces, the conversations that we don't normally talk about on the podcast every single week. So yes, we are now introducing 9 to our Google Pro, which is a brand new tier for you to pay for,

to get access to us, access to a potentially Discord server, all of these continuous spaces and sources of news where we can have proper dialogue with you, feedback, community building, and a really fun way to give back to you and you to give to us. It's a chance for you to help shape everything we do here at 95 Google every day. And it's a direct line for you and us to build something a little bit more sustainable. And we'd love to have you join us. I don't know what you guys think. For me, it's a great opportunity to support one of the last remaining really independent blog networks, blog websites on the internet, right? Like it not just the podcast, but the site as a whole.

I mean, Damien Abner, I've been working with you guys for a little over a year now. And part of why I wanted to come to 9 to 5 so bad was because it holds, you know, that, that independent spirit of the internet that has been kind of lost. And so, you know, this is a way for us to both connect with our audience and our community and continue building 9 to 5 Google into whatever it's going to be for the next 10 plus years. You, the people who visit and listen to us every day are the most integral part of our success. And through this membership, we're really hoping that you spend more time with and help us continue to grow well into the future. So thank you for subscribing or being a potential subscriber to 9 to 5 Google Pro. I couldn't have said it any better myself, guys. We'd love to have you join us.

as always pixelated our main podcast will remain free this is just a special way to grow and build something a lot more sustainable and i think we need a little bit more of that on the internet thanks and i hope to see you on the other side bye bye
