This will become a direct competitor to Substack and Medium, and maybe even outlets like the NYT.

@chrismessina @Techmeme Artifact has mostly served to remind me of how obnoxious ads on mobile news sites are. I love the service; the problem is that once you leave Artifact to read the articles on the linked sites, half your phone’s screen is taken up by mobile ads
@re_chief @Techmeme It is really bad, but that's why I use Reader Mode and their AI summarization tool aggressively.
