You made it, you own it
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
Great essay Jake! I’m a fan of several of the people you mentioned but haven’t followed them closely enough to have noticed their hypocrisy when it comes to this issue. (It is outrageous that Bari Weiss almost cost you your job.😡)
I admire you for always remaining truly consistent with your principles.
