We're having an org change. I know which team moves before it's announced.
Design moves under Product. Dana runs it. They tell everyone Monday at 10.
$5.00 Paid $5.00
Quiet Otter 41 gets half
Work news before it's announced. Sports picks. Tips and tricks. Access codes. Post a teaser, lock the rest, and keep half of every sale.
Post a teaser. Lock the rest. People pay to see it.
Type it, or hold to talk. The teaser is free. The rest stays hidden.
Set what it costs. Post under your name or your alias.
Post it anywhere. Buyers open it in their browser, no app needed, and can pass it on.
Write it, price it, share it. A friend pays to see it, and you get half.
Step 1 of 5
Write the secret
Type what you know, plus a free teaser that makes people curious.
Sell what you know: work news, sports picks, tips and tricks. Or sell access to something you have.
Write the secret and a teaser. Set a price. People pay to unlock it.
Got a code people want? Lock it behind a price and share the link.
Turn on Post anonymously and buyers see a name like Quiet Otter 41 instead of yours.
You get one alias and keep it. It is picked at random, so nobody can work out who you are from it.
The app is free. You set the price. You get half of every sale.
They pay on the link page with a card or Apple Pay.
$10.00 is yours. Middleman keeps $10.00.
We hold it in case of a report. Then Stripe pays it out to your bank.
Middleman is for useful secrets, good picks, and real codes. It is not for hurting people.
Every link page has a Report button. Anyone can use it, with or without an account. An alias hides you from buyers, not from us.
Sellers get paid after a 3 day hold. If there is an open report, the money stays put until we look at it. Fake secrets and dead codes get refunded.
You must be 18 or older and live in the US to use Middleman.

No. They get a link. It opens a web page where they can pay with a card or Apple Pay and see the secret or the code right there.
Two things. A secret: everyone sees a short teaser, and only buyers see the rest. Think work news before it's announced, like an org change or who's leaving, sports picks like who to start in fantasy, or tips and tricks like a shortcut that saves an hour. Or access: a promo code, a presale code, an invite link, a beta code, or a download link, locked until someone pays.
Half the price, every time. If you set $20, you get $10.00 and Middleman gets $10.00. Card fees come out of our half, not yours.
We hold the money for 3 days in case someone reports a problem. After that, Stripe sends it to your bank. You set up your bank once, in the Wallet tab.
Yes. Turn on Post anonymously and buyers see your alias, like Quiet Otter 41, instead of your name. You keep the same alias every time. Your ratings and your rank still count, and nothing on the link proves it was you if it gets passed around.
The buyer can tap Report on the page. While a report is open, the money stays on hold. If the secret was fake or the code did not work, the buyer gets a refund and the seller gets nothing for that sale.
After someone pays, they answer one question: was it worth the price? They pick 1 to 5 stars. Only buyers can rate, and each buyer gets one vote per seller. Bigger sales count more: a rating on a $100 sale counts 10 times one on a $1 sale. Your score shows up after 10 different buyers rate you, and buyers see it before they pay. If your score drops under 3 stars, you lose trust: buyers see a warning and you drop off the board. The weekly board starts fresh every Monday and lists everyone by alias. The full math is on the How scores work page.
Cash from a friend is one sale and nobody else hears about it. On Middleman, every buyer rates you. After 10 buyers rate you, people who don't know you see your score before they pay, and a good score puts you on the weekly board. That's how you sell to people outside your own circle, and charge more over time.
Threats, blackmail, other people's private info like addresses or phone numbers, sexual content, and hate. Codes must be yours to share. We don't read every post. We look into reports and payment disputes, and we take down posts that break the rules.
People 18 and older in the United States. You can sell from any phone or computer with a web browser. Anyone in the US with the link can pay to see.
In the app, open Settings and tap Delete account. Your posts come down, your alias is wiped, and so are your words. We keep basic payment records because the law requires it.
Open Middleman in your browser, on your phone or computer. Post as yourself or under your alias. Your buyers just need the link.
