If you are looking for short stories, I strongly recommend audio fiction podcasts.

Escape Artists is one of my favorite production houses. The recordings are creative commons licensed, and the authors (and other artists) get paid professional rates:

Other sites to check out (all are donation-supported and pay authors):

https://www.drabblecast.org/

https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/podcasting/

https://www.asimovs.com/more-stuff/podcasts/

To give you an idea of what’s available, “Money in the Bank” by John Kessel and Bruce Sterling will likely sit well with the HN crowd:

I could have picked literally 100’s of other stories; this one wins due to recency bias and the authors cyberpunk roots.
