If it’s rapidly becoming commoditized by other tools, maybe it’s worth blowing up just to build an email list of everybody that would care about the prestige of having this kind of portrait.
hmm a small percentage of the population subscribes to WSJ, i'm thinking there's value in transferring that signal to being for subscribers (like an NPR tote bag). people who want to be published in WSJ will still want to be, so no loss there.

I barely had any association with it before... maybe this raises visibility. And actual writers can drop links to their actual articles if there is any confusion. To put it another way, anyone could have done the same knockoff. It was never really exclusive.
Because newspapers are dying?
Isn't there a significant gain however from seeding this sort of constant reminder of WSJ fandom in the feeds of thousands of people?
I mean, if it's not in "a teenager could do it with computing resources Google prices at $0" territory, it will be soon
