It was nice to discover/realise that I can be very much "let's end advertising as a business model"

and ALSO be like "it is not my problem that you have to find a new business model"

@nev they just need to work harder to find a new business model

@aurynn @nev Or even just outright copy one from the journalistic outlets that are doing just fine without ads, but even that is apparently too tall an order

@joepie91 @aurynn well, admittedly the same model won't work for all outlets - magazine vs. weekly vs. daily, national vs. neighbourhood, etc. but i think they could figure it out if they really put their minds to it.

@nev @joepie91 I like the idea of paying for a subscription to a magazine thing and getting digital access to the backlog as well, if I'm interested

@aurynn @nev @joepie91 Wired does this, you can have a digital subscription or physical, which includes all the digital stuff too
