Underdiscussed point: how much responsibility Substack bears for Bari Weiss being in the position she is now in.
Fuck substack

the quality of work that bari weiss produced at THE FREE PRESS was dogshit-tier bad (even by the standards of right wing slop) but it was a financial success anyway because Substack's right wing owners and other oligarch benefactors heavily promoted it.

It's a government service. It's not supposed to make money.
No one talks about the armed forces losing a trillion dollars every year.
How much money did Congress lose last year? What was their revenue?

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

There’s a difficult irony that many people would really rather not have to think about this (ie what started in 2020 that’s clearly still happening)… but willingness to confront it is also the best way to reduce your odds of ending up on this chart + having to think about it all the fucking time.
