Before June 8 A qualified and respected television journalist ABC, Terry Moran, was neither a home brand nor a political lightning rod. It changed rapidly when Moran Posted to X Deputy Chief of Staff Donald Trump Stephen Miller was a “world -class hater”, and then in the addition that the president was also a hater. ( post they were later removed.) Although the statements were certainly defensive, they apparently violated ABC’s policy, and Moran was suspended and then released. However, Moran had one move. On June 11 he began to write to Suback.
Moran joined a dream movement: journalists could start the Suback Bulletin and honoring the Garner subscription that would match their previous salaries. And they would be liberated! No editors who, by fucking a copy, have no censorship on the part of bosses when advertisers complain, no corporate ruler who released you when you say that the President of the United States is a hajter. Suback says that some people really live a dream. CEO Chris Best recently boasted In a speech That “over 50” of its users have come to dollars.
How do he get more journalists pushed From work, get tired of your bosses or simply want to breathe the cold air of freedom, they now have something that seems to be a real manhole of escape. Recently, many of them apply it. Jeff Bezos was good at Suback: Washington Post Editorial Page perceptible recent lack of interest in stopping democracy from dying led to the popular writer of the opinion of Jennifer Rubin Start publication entitled The Contrarianand censored editors of the cartoon Ann Telnaes now publishes Also on Suback. The former host of MSNBC Mehdi Hassan began his own publication. Even Chuck Todd went independent.
You may want to think that the subactive revolution shakes the foundations of journalism, agreeing with Suback Star Emily Sundberg That newsroom leaders around the world should delay their doors to prevent further shooting. Well, not so swift. The Suback model can work very well for a few, but it is not so uncomplicated to march and adjust the salary. Readers must pay a high price for a voice that they once enjoyed in the publication, which they subscribe. And writers must get used to the idea that the width of their wisdom is circumscribed to a petite percentage of patrons. Is Suback balanced for writers turning to the general audience?
Over the past week, a group of critics has published that the platform could be in a shaky area. It started when Eric Newcomer – talks about his successful subacja – the recent influx of great names Subtack and announced that the platform told investors Revenues from $ 45 million a year. He claimed that he was looking for a fresh investment round, which values the company for $ 700 million. (Suback has not confirmed these numbers)
But then Dylan Byers from the album He looked at these numbers And I wondered if the most significant valuation was actually smaller than in previous rounds. Byers, like other critics, accused that when you pass a few real immense earners, the platform was full of low mediocrity: “The truth is that the vast majority of the content on Suback is boring, amateur or crazy Batshit,” he said. His conclusion was that Suback was a media company trying to be valued as a technology company, which is a known point of failure of similar companies. (Once he fell over it failed to IPO For this reason.)
Ana Marie Cox, who once liked the fame of blogging as Wonkette, It’s even gloomyWriting in his newsletter that the suback “is as unstable as the premiere of SpaceX”. She was not impressed by the newer influx of writers of names. “To what extent does Terry Morans a suback to which he is taking place?” she wrote. “Is there even a public appetite for a dozen Terry Morans, everyone independently of Terry Moran in his Bulletin?”
COX refers to subscription fatigue, which I think about every time the registration page appears when opening a fresh suback. Usually, Suback professionals strive for a monthly fee of USD 5-10 or an annual rate of USD 50-150. Usually there is a free level of content, but journalists who hope that at least part of their maintenance means on Suback save good things for paid customers. Compared to subscribing to full publications, this is a terrible proposition of values. After leaving the Atlantic, famed writer Derek Thompson He started the subacction It cost USD 80 a year – it is one penny more than a digital subscription of the magazine he just left! (Atlantic Probably an edition of $ 300,000 To replace it with someone else, to read.) You don’t need too many of these subscriptions to match the costs of Fresh York Times, who probably has 100 journalists as good as Suback writers, and you have wordle.
