One of the bits of feedback in the recent reader survey was creating a thread for each piece DiS publishes so people can discuss it, so giving it a try with this one. Maybe a bit different to my usual newsletters but I was overheated and went with trying to wrestle my morning rage into something that distils a lot of my frustrations at the moment with the word “content” and the way we’re allowing platform-owning billionaires to set the norms.
