"I have plenty of beef with Facebook (mostly for its role in helping destroy the news industry and how it has destabilized nations)," I think if you watch FOX or CNN or read WaPo and NYT you'll see that the news industry self destructed more than Facebook doing them in.

Sure they hoovered up most of the ad bucks, but substack proves people will pay for quality news.

And I noticed that many people thought that it was great when is was destabilizing nations such as Libya, Syria and Egypt.
