      Meta-commentary, but I've noticed that journalists/commentators who receive a modest income through crowdfunding are subject to intense scorn and ridicule (grifter!) while journalists/commentators paid by giant corporations, with all the corruption that entails, are just "normal"

      In the short time that I've been producing videos/podcasts (around two weeks) I'm proud to have developed an income derived almost entirely from regular people (in addition to paid freelance work). Seems like a pretty good model.https://patreon.com/mtracey

      Yes, there are some genuine grifters out there who bilk people for crowdfunding money (guys like @funder). But crowdfunding obviously does not ipso facto make one a grifter. I'm as transparent as possible. The typical media models are broken, and we need new ones.

          100% agree. The advertising model does not work for news. What if the media was focused on educating and informing people instead of maximizing eyeballs on ads? I don't really like your work, but keep it up!

          You don’t like the current #MSM model where multinational corporations & billionaires pay millionaire suit models to tell middle class white ppl that all their problems are caused by poor POC & not billionaires & multinational corporations? Why not?

          "I will create x thing that matters to you in return for your contribution" isn't a grift by any stretch of the imagination, so long as you deliver. It's like subscribing to the fuckin paper. Who's talkin this jive about grifitng? Definition of bad faith.

          When a dude whose whole shtick is no holds barred open dialogue blocks you because you caught him red-handed pushing a partisan talking point, coordinated with at least one other 'non-partisan' account, it's a grift.

          yeah our media is COMPLETELY broken. They don't even correct or retract bogus stories anymore. So we have to pay other people to do proper work through the crowdfunding thing
