Bonus piece this week. I had the incredible pleasure of interviewing Chris Best, the co-founder and CEO of Substack. Chris is a product nerd and builder of things presently working on Substack, a tool for writers to go independent, publish their work to email on the web, and make money from subscriptions. Their big ambitious goal: build an alternate media universe with different laws that lead to better outcomes. Below, a critique of the last decade of social media incentives, a stand against our would-be censors, and a firm commitment to free expression.
FYI, the following has been lightly edited for clarity and concision.
