Notable that Marc Andreessen backed Elon’s Twitter takeover and is now also backing Post.news, Twitter’s main competitor outside Mastodon. Once again, you think you’re given a choice but the rich get richer either path you take!

@taylorlorenz the post.news thing has been sketchy from the start-- even thought many journalists I love are going there. When it feels that way, my policy is to wait. We'll see things more clearly in the coming months.

@JoParkerBear Yeah, I didn't love the pyramid scheme feel to it (invite 5 friends & you'll get bumped up the queue)... & then it looks like a pay-to-be-seen + pay-to-read setup which is only really going to make 1 party wealthy...

@debe @JoParkerBear Essentially professional journalists are doing free work for the VC investors on a content creation.

@andreastarreese @JoParkerBear @debe Not everyone thinks that cheaper is better. Some things are more important than saving a buck.

@debe @JoParkerBear there are also people saying they got their invites to join before the person who's referral link they used. As in the referrer is still waiting on their invitation, which means getting those sign-ups doesn't do what they promised.
