About


JADED FORUM is a series of open dialogues and par­ties based in New York City, host­ed by Z (@zetto.plus) and Yedoye Travis (@yedoye_).


In order to produce Jaded Forum in a way that’s sustainable, and with full-time editors as well as other positions filled, its production team (400M) needs at least $360,000 coming in each year.


As a program, Jaded Forum has at least five co-op members working on each episode in between other jobs. If we wanted to pay for just two full-time positions, we would need at least $120,000 coming in each year. To put things into perspective, Chapo Trap House — one of the highest grossing programs on Patreon — brings in more than that each month ($183,858 as of 07/2025). That’s over $2,000,000 a year.

Jaded Forum isn’t just talking heads bantering in private or on a Twitch stream. As a show, it provides people with monthly, in-person opportunities for connection not only with the hosts and each other, but special guests as well. On top of all that, its production team is leveraging programming to help people cooperate around their labor (so they can live without bosses), secure housing (via angel seed funding), and more.

If you get anything out of Jaded Forum — whether in person, at work, or at home — please consider helping us continue.

We’re tired, but here.
