      1/ watching this WaPo journo attack WaPo business practices reminds me of a recent tweet essay (by @patio11 , perhaps? or someone else?) on how members of organizations are no empowered by twitter to attack the very orgs that pay their salary ties into @ByrneHobart point that > https://twitter.com/hshaban/status/1296462725170831360 …

      2/ substack, etc. now empower content creators to be their own brands; they're not a MEMBER of WaPo; they're currently roosting there In general, (a) this is a fine trend, (b) whether it is or not is beside the point bc reality is what is; normative != descriptive; is vs ought

          3/ I've got my own brand and I have no boss ( http://morlockpublishing.com  , also software contracting), but the insider-yet-outsider-at-the-same-time thing is a distinct and third thing. Maybe bc I'm a sperg and thus lean formalist at all times, I find the idea of >>>

          4/ being 2/3 inside the tent, and pissing in rather than pissing out, to be outrageous and offensive. I've always preferred exit over loyalty, and loyalty over voice. It seems a violation of the social / ethical API to rally outsiders to attack the guy who pays your salary.

          5/ If you take WaPo dollars, keep your mouth shut. If you want to mouth off, stop taking WaPo dollars. But is != ought. People are they way they are because it works, or at least worked in our evolutionary environment. That doesn't mean that I can't find them contemptible

          Here's how I'd phrase this: 1) Twitter gives more people a low-cost high-impact "publicly defect from institution" than has ever existed. 2) Twitter lets you organize inside and outside an institution at same time. We're not entirely prepared for what this does to norms. https://twitter.com/hunterwalk/status/1280551056070475776 …

          And one way that will manifest is not attacking The Man but rather rallying *insiders* after being rallied by outsiders to attack *a specific person employed by* The Man that pays your salary, in collaboration with formal disciplinary or decisionmaking processes of The Man.
