      Just discovered that about three years’ worth of my writing is behind a paywall now, which I guess I understand, but it makes me pretty unhappy.https://twitter.com/DrJaimeFriedman/status/1114942305893404672 …

      I think I’ve seen this. It’s behind a paywall now. I do understand, very much, why docs would refuse non vaccinating families. At the same time it sends them to HCPs who may not continue to advocate for vaccines.

      Makes it hard to share evergreen content. Time for your own site? I love that I’m the only one in control of my posts.

      So do I, and it only costs me ~$80/month. I accept no advertising and no sponsored posts. It's just me and 100% total control. Total freedom,as long as I can afford it. OTOH, this approach inherently limits my reach.

      Replying to @gorskon @DrJaimeFriedman @WFKARS

      Yeah. One of the values of writing for an outlet is that it expands reach, but also gives credence (sometimes) because of editorial review. My own columns I have full rights to after they first-run in @CapTimes. (That was easy to negotiate because they don’t pay me a dime. 🙂)

      Replying to @navsaria @DrJaimeFriedman and

      It can do the opposite with respect to credence as well. The disadvantage of writing for an outlet is that you can be tarred by other things being published by that outlet. I learned that during the whole "Pepsigate" kerfuffle at ScienceBlogs several years ago.

      Yep, I agree. Choose your outlets carefully.

      Over the years I was at ScienceBlogs, every so often I'd get an offer to blog or write columns somewhere else. I think it was because I was too comfortable there that I didn't pursue most of them.

      I regret that now, to some extent because now that I'm free and clear I don't get offers for worrying or blogging gigs any more. It's as though I blew my opportunity.

          Replying to @gorskon @navsaria and

          I used to think my lack of offers was because I was too...insolent. But then I saw Jen Gunter get a column in the NYT, and these days she's at least as blunt as I always was. She also cusses, something I rarely do on my blog or on Twitter, other than the occasion "bullshit."

          So I'm left to conclude that my "Insolence" is probably more of a niche taste, without broad appeal. Maybe I need to figure out how to change that.
