Oddbean new post about login | logout @6b43cb18 Those three are all major newspapers -- this is merely a social media. Social media don't pay salaries.
@9b8b69f4 No, but they generate income for many, including journos. Directly or indirectly. A platform that is ad-free and not commerce-friendly leaves many with indirect means. For example, get people to look at your Substack, and then hopefully get them to subscribe. Quite onerous. And the fewer users makes it harder.
