Just arrived at YVR. Some shots from the Arctic for you: mountains of Greenland, sea ice, arriving over Canada. Finally the islands of the west coast as we turn to land at YVR.

It’s not a viable market product in a market where big tech platforms control distribution and tip the scales towards an endless supply of teenagers working free.

Every media company should be chasing the open social web to break that control wide open and reshape the market
High-quality journalism is not a viable market product. If you want consistent high-quality journalism, you need some kind of subsidy.

ANY billionaire could set up the WaPo as a high-quality journalism outlet, accept that it's not going to make money, & simply subsidize it. Nothing stopping them.

the @newsmastfoundation.org x Bristol Cable collab that was showcased at @protocolsforpublishers.com London last night was an example of this pattern

they just... did it.

How do publishers and open protocols intersect? I had no idea! Honestly, I'm still not sure. But the event I went to, @protocolsforpublishers.com, was quite interesting and tried to give us some answers.

I've just moved to eurosky.social, and you can too! For European data storage, and to demonstrate how a decentralized, open social network looks like in practice. We are testing the personal data service (PDS) transfer this week, sign up if you want in! www.eurosky.tech/register #eurosky
