One way to trip advertisers/attention merchants up

Television killed the radio star, and now, television is being tripped by user-generated media, on the internet.

Other than the other thing. One way for this to remain user-generated and not the packaged commercial mass media dreck.

It's crowdfunding from the audience, Jim sterling ain't having that commercial conflict of interest, he's funding his work hiving a good dollop of literary non-fiction criticism, (stuff that ain't commercial friendly) to us, the users. Say what you will with his political views and other parts. He's picking himself.

So it shouldn't be a lottery of corporate appeasement, pleasing and delighting those tired of burnout and serving them. Becoming an attention merchant, and now he's the one being pitched to, not playing the advertisers' algorithm game.

So yeah, this blog post is a vote for crowdfunding.

21 with explicit rejection for commercial publishers.
