@coachtony gives this advice when exploring the fediverse as a business: "Give up all the growth hacking nonsense. The Fediverse is a place to go make real relationships." /cc @mike @J12t @coachtony @mike public television model? public radio model? public social medium model? hosted by your local library? tax me for that, please, I'd still volunteer a few weekends to babysit that infrastructure. Worthless information wants to be free. Valuable information wants to be dear. I prefer to think of it this way: information that is good for you is dear. Information that is good for somebody else, at your expense, is given to you for free. |
@J12t @mike @coachtony This is, in part, why I diversified one of our websites into print in 2004 (might have been a first? I know there was Yahoo! Internet Life before us, but I think that was licensing). Many could see the limits then with online advertising and it has worsened in the last 20 years.
