@parismarx the glaring one you overlooked is Substack! paywall, leveraging anyone to create content in echo chambers with no moderation , promoting outrage and polarisation for profit.
@amirbkhan No, you just wrote this before reading.

@parismarx ah, I apologise. I stand corrected. Was not being rude by the way. It’s a very comprehensive and useful list. So thank you. particularly glad you mentioned Anytime player which I’ll use for podcasts now.

I’m just so ticked off with Substack who take zero effort to moderate or flag derogatory and offensive content coming from right-wing so called “independent journalists”. I’m losing dear friends who’re stuck in such an echo chamber. Just feeling heartbroken 💔
