A fair shot at every story
Catchers now get first claim on the stories Paparazzi finds itself, and holders get the longest head start.
- Catch window: stories Paparazzi finds on its own now wait before going live, so you can catch them first. Holders get 45 minutes, everyone else gets 15. Breaking news still goes live right away.
- Instant link check: the submit form now tells you if a link is already on Paparazzi before you send it, so you don't waste a try.
- New site tasks: reading stories, visiting a sponsor and checking stories can now count toward your daily tasks, extra stories and payouts.
- City tasks: 10 new daily and weekly tasks in the City, including a weekend heist.
- Robinhood Chain: the section now fills with Robinhood news as it breaks, and the Web3 & Crypto section loads reliably again.
- Site menu: a new Menu button at the top left opens every page on Paparazzi, grouped into Earn, Markets and Paparazzi.
- Cleaner header: How to earn, Leaderboard, League and City now sit right under the Paparazzi logo on every screen size.
- Release notes: this page. We'll show a short note when something new ships, and you can always find it in the menu and footer.
