The platform patronage model continues to reshape publishing ... is this a substack/Wordpress killer or another failed initiative in waiting? https://t.co/hOdqrUxvuS

I said this last time when this was a rumor and I’ll say it again: any journalist/creator dumb enough to take money from Facebook for this is digging their own grave. They will literally stop paying in a year. https://t.co/npyYMyqq2l

Interesting from Facebook, but publishers don't need to spend more times on Stories and Pages and Video, in my opinion. I just can't see the tech platforms as the future home for quality journalists. https://t.co/8NDjZFkzUR

Every social platform does what every other social platform does. Everybody has so-called story formats. Everybody is getting email newsletters. Everybody will look like Medium. Not saying that's a bad thing, only amusing. https://t.co/wm88tB0bGl

Another 'solution' from Facebook in which it sets the terms of the deal. Money for journalism sounds good but then you realise it's Facebook selecting those journalists and deciding who to pay...I await your call, @nick_clegg https://t.co/bNIAVI5rNH

Similar but more tactical take: take the money with this outcome in mind, be ready to jump to Substack and maybe even see if Substack will beat the offer now https://t.co/8f9sTT53EA
