Isn’t that Vox? Noting wrong with the business model, unless you’re looking for a stellar return on capital.
medium is unionizing overtly to control the editorial direction of the company. a new value prop for writers: we will pay you almost nothing, but promise to hold your work to new and ambiguous social justice standards. interesting direction in an age of substack. good luck! https://twitter.com/mediumworkers/status/1359941946047881216 …pic.twitter.com/p1rTtTbIJm

I agree that it's ambiguous, but there's nothing wrong with amplifying marginalized voices. Nowhere does Medium mention removing or stifling voices. Minus the unionizing, substack also explicitly stated that they were not apolitical in their blog post.

The Elect are just doing a bunch of fuzzing and finding open ports. This one is pretty solid - the way to close it is to recognize these are not unions, they are neo-unions, which are advocacy groups using workers rights as a pre-text for power.

that's a strange deep reading of like sub-paragraph four in an overall push for pay equity and employment security

also really dont see how those statements are controversial. isn't this like, literally what Zuckerberg and other platforms are proponents of? I feel like "marginalized elevation" could be a substack credo too
