From #NilayPatel (@reckless1280): "America now has an unelected defense contractor sitting in the White House doing ketamine and twiddling the algorithmic knobs of an influential right-wing echo chamber while fulminating against traditional standards-based journalism, threatening to revoke network broadcast licenses, and suing advertisers who don’t want to spend their money on his dwindling user base.

I’m surprised how many liberal/progressive voices publish good content on #Substack after CEO #ChrisBest dodged and then crumbled under questioning from #NilayPatel about removing racist content from Substack in April 2023. Maybe no practical alternative exists to Substack? Best is still CEO today.

"I think the defining economic reality of the modern platform media world is that all the platforms realized that an infinite supply of teenage creators are cheaper to deal with than media companies or groups of media individuals or powerful creators."
