Will clap for food: Medium's quest to measure (and pay for) quality writing online
"Content is a mug's game. "Content is king", a phrase originating from Viacom mogul Sumner Redstone, not Bill Gates as is commonly given, is a lie. And a cable mogul would certainly be aware of it: channel control is king. And cable is control over the channel...."
@Masek Praise the Krell Gods this isn't the same team that brought you Twitter, Russian Influence Bots, and the Fascist Puppet Traitor Donald John Trump.
Oh, wait ....
@dredmorbius I personally consider Medium to be a lab, and I commend Ev for his dedication at *trying* to find a business model that *does not* incentivise crap.
That said no, Medium *has not* found it yet. I don't think Medium Claps coupled with Subscription is it, either. Doesn't mean Ev won't find something that works though, someday...

@FerdiZ Appreciating that, his track record's not so hot.
@dredmorbius What could possibly go wrong?
