Why is the Community platform being closed?
From the day we launched Thrive Global, our Community contributor platform has been a core part of our mission. We believe in the power of storytelling and relatable role models to inspire behavior change, and our open platform was intended to empower contributors to share their challenges and successes and create a vibrant community around well-being. Unfortunately, despite our clear guidelines, many contributors have misused this platform by using it for promotional purposes, plagiarizing stories, uploading unlicensed images, and providing medical misinformation. For nearly five years we have put tremendous effort and resources into monitoring and removing problematic content, but given the volume of posts we receive each day it is unsustainable to vet all contributor content to ensure that it unequivocally meets our editorial standards. While we will continue to publish posts from select experts and thought leaders, we will no longer provide an open platform for publication. Your past posts will remain on our site, but if you have not posted since November 1, 2021, you will no longer be able to log in and publish new posts.
What will happen to my previously posted articles?
All of your articles will remain live on Thriveglobal.com. The open platform officially closed on November 1st, 2021. You will not be able to access your posts within the publishing platform after the platform has closed if you have not logged in sine that date.
Will you continue to have contributors?
Yes, we will continue to publish pieces from our in-house writers along with pieces written by select experts and thought leaders.
My company is a Thrive enterprise customer and I’ve been asked to contribute to the Role Models section in the Thrive app. Can I still do that?
Yes! If you have been invited to contribute to the Role Models section, please submit your story via the form provided by your company.
Are there other ways for me to stay engaged with Thrive?
Yes! You can continue to follow Thrive by following us on Instagram and subscribing to Arianna Huffington’s On My Mind newsletter.
