Of those 10 stories 4 of them were not reported on by any other major Tech News outlets. And 3 of the other stories were first reported by The Lunduke Journal (and then picked up by other journalists).

Thats wild. Worth Pondering

We know that The Lunduke Journal gets more social media traction and views than any other Mainstream Tech Journalism outlets (including the ones which claim to have millions of followers).

While we dont know the current exact viewership numbers of the other major Tech Journalists out there, based on all available numbers it would appear that these are among the most viewed Tech News stories from any publisher.

Period.

Which means that this list of Top Tech News of 2025 is about as close to definitive as were likely to get.

While were at it, for the sake of massive transparency, here are detailed statistics for The Lunduke Journal for last month. (Something the other big Tech News outlets would be terrified to reveal.) Lunduke Journal Stats for December

Heres some Lunduke Journal stats for December, 2025:

14.9 Million views (or listens) during the last month (December).

151,224 free subscribers (not including audio podcast feeds).

2,196 new free subscribers on the primary platforms.

342 shows, in total, in 2025.

$0.00 (zero) taken from any corporation.

December is, typically, the most quiet month for Tech Journalism. Fewer big stories. Lots of people on vacation. View numbers are, almost always, significantly lower than a typical month.

Despite that, The Lunduke Journal had a pretty stellar month in December of 2025. Second biggest month of the year (only slightly behind the previous month, which set multiple records), clocking in at just shy of 15 million views.

Ill take it.

Total Free Subscribers also saw pretty decent growth, considering it was December (the quiet month), of over 2,000 new subscribers. Now topping 150,000.

A huge thank you, as always, to the amazing subscribers to The Lunduke
Journal .

None of this work would be possible without you.
