I love it and I'm able to make a good living at it! It's just hard to enter now. But I couldn't tell anyone not to do it. Best job on the planet.

I didn't know either until I got into the industry!

Yes I hope you don't feel dunked on! It's actually nice to be able to talk about this because many people don't understand!

This is why a certain class of people tends to work in journalism. Lots of people can't afford it.

Lots of positions are $35,000-45,000 in expensive cities. You're VERY lucky to get $75,000 or more.

Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview.

If you're still posting there and think you can win hearts and minds or something, this is what you're up against. You're never going to win a rigged game.

I hadn't thought of that, what a disaster

Not many young people know this but it is generally pretty unusual for the president to outright call for the mass executions of elected members of the opposition party
