So Substack is throwing money again at select journalists to help them become “independent.” That word has become so devalued in the age of Walled Gardens 2.0.
@ricmac Yea bummed that @taylorlorenz went to Substack vs Ghost. I won't sub to any Substacks, because of their open complacency to antisemitism and racism.
@ricmac Oh oh now it makes sense. There was something about the wording "I'm going independent" which made me wonder if this was somehow different from the various people with paid newsletters and..... well apparently it is a bit different from the "various people".
