      One thing about the Brooks business is that a lot of people have the mistaken idea that being a writer for New York Times is a job. But for an entrepreneur like Brooks, the Times gig is a loss leader to advertise the real business (public speaking, books, foundation moolah etchttps://twitter.com/dankennedy_nu/status/1368197221875916807 …

      I dunno... don't you think the columnist gig pays about 400k?

      Yeah. For most of us a “loss leader” is like those dollar comps record companies used to peddle — a real non-money-maker for promo purposes. I bet I could live very well on Brooks’ salary.

      Live well by your standards, not by Brooks' standards. He probably makes $50,000 per speech. So the real dough is in the speeches, foundation work etc. He gets far less per column, but the columns make him worth the high speech fees.

          So, what's to say @nytdavidbrooks isn't parsing his columns not to say what he really believes, or what he wants to say to read and believe, but instead phrases every sentence in the form of the question: "Which $50,000 speech will these words get me?"

          In Brooks’ case what difference does it make? His writing and opinions all support the current power structure — he’s already a professional suck-up. If I had proof he said out loud he was consciously pitching for payoffs I’d actually admire his unexpected self-awareness!

          There's an audience for culture war idiocy but middlebrow. I get that, and good for him. But what does the NYT get out of it. I understand it's hard to find a good token con, for "balance" but surely they can do better than Brooks? Esp when he trades on their name so much?
