For years you hunted people for profit. Getting people fired, bankrupting companies, ruining careers, anything for clicks. So: if the penalty for just-a-joke is getting fired, what’s the penalty for just-the-flu?https://twitter.com/EricNewcomer/status/1243584458135162882 …

Rather than having one corporate journalist paid $100,000 per year, we want 100 citizen journalists earning $1000 per year for sharing their expertise. Twitter was v1 and Substack is v2 of this. We’re moving towards individual citizen journalists, away from media corporations.

By the way, the Substack model incentivizes writers to differentiate rather than all repeat the same thing. That’s good for original writers and bad for centralized narratives. Individual monetization, distribution, reputation, content: that’s how we decentralize media.

Bingo. The decline of big media was greatly accelerated by disrupting subscription-based media in favor of ad-supported models. In an ad-supported world, the more lurid & crazy the story, the richer you get so that's what we're getting: lurid and crazy. Thank you SV!

Replace “media” with “venture capital” and “Brooklyn” with “Bay Area” and you have the same problem

I think another to decentralize is mobile connectivity, now that governments are openly coopting mobile networks for real time location tracking.
