Subnostr

Matt Taibbi released the Twitter files, (causing the Left, which has been his audience to hate him) because it was the right thing to do.

Elon just banned links to Substack.

Matt spoke up.

Elon then unfollowed Matt.

These 'dictators' have too much power over content creators and their ability to support themselves. People having a Twitter account with daily engagement that links to Substacks that can accept money for content have been how many get by, including Matt, who had alot to do with Elon's popularity due to the Twitter Files.

Of course, Nostr and Lightning can fix this. We have a ways to go though.

Matt is ok but he clearly didn’t realize Elon was using him and Bari as his useful idiots.

Matt & Bari felt special and never saw the bait and switch coming.

I mean, they were being journalists, there was some news to be revealed. Of course, it means half the country hates you, the government hates you, and the other half the country doesn't like you either, because you spent the first part of the career writing bad stuff about them (for example Matt wrote a book called Insane Clown President: Dispatches from the 2016 Circus about Trump)

What should a good journalist have done instead?

Can’t say because I wasn’t in all of the “secret meetings” that Matt didn’t want to go into when he went on Rogan.

Simply stating what I’m observing.

Do you think maybe he shouldn’t have reported the documents his source gave him?

You don’t know whether Matt Taibbi should have reported?
