This is how bad it’s gotten at Twitter: Because Elon Musk shadowbans anything that links outside his empire, Global Eye News (866,000 followers) gets more visibility and engagement than the New York Times (53 million followers).

Meanwhile fake videos, fake images, and fake news are taking over the platform. You win in Musk’s broken system by making up bogus stories, and pumping them for engagement. And it works, because outrageous lies always get more attention than sober truth.

I worry about these practices ramping up here at Substack—that would be disastrous.
