Our promise
We never link to a paywall.
Most deal newsletters hand you a headline and a link you can't open without a $40-a-month subscription. The Daily Buyout is different: every story we summarize links to coverage you can read in full, for free.
- 1
Only free-to-read sources
Stories come from an allowlist of publishers whose articles anyone can read: company press-release wires, SEC filings, and free news outlets. Known paywalls are blocked outright.
- 2
Every page is checked
Before a story is considered, we load the article and look for the signals publishers use to mark gated content. Anything that is locked, metered, or can't be verified is dropped.
- 3
An editor reviews every edition
Every edition is reviewed by an editor before it's published and sent.

Great journalism, but it's behind a paywall or login, so it doesn't fit our promise.
