                          Regular reminder that the media industry is so afraid of understanding how the money gets made that they'll give that capacity to anyone.

                        90s: The web? Let someone else fill the white space. 00s: Ad servers? Let programatic run ads. 10s: Web ads? Let Medium figure it out.

                      It's like the entire industry is Charlie Brown. We keep falling on our face, turning around & asking Lucy for more.

                    And each time we give more away. 1st: space on our pages. 2nd: control over the user experience. Now even our HOSTING.

                  Is there anything the news industry isn't willing to give away rather than think about how to run a freaking business?

                What must the convo at ThinkProgress have been? "We can't figure out how to make money. Medium will figure it out!"

              How can you remain independent if your hosting is free in exchange for unspecified money making methods in the future?

            What leg do you have to stand on if Medium comes up to you tomorrow and says 'Do this or we'll take it all away'?

          And don't act like that shit isn't something that could happen. It's EXACTLY what Twitter did with its APIs.

        What happens when Medium puts "Sponsored Content From The Church of Scientology" next to your article?

      GDIT. Can we not think past the immediate future of the next few years?

    The ethics of journalism extend to the ethics of the business of journalism!

      If we don't have the capacity to guarantee that we are operating ethically we have no capacity to show our readers that we are ethical.

        I guess just keep hoping real hard that THIS will be the partner who actually cares about readers and journalism. That has worked so well :/

          The media industry: just keep running away from dealing with the business side. And don't look down super geniuses.
