  I said this last time when this was a rumor and I'll say it again: any journalist/creator dumb enough to take money from Facebook for this is digging their own grave. They will literally stop paying in a year. https://www.axios.com/...

  Every social platform does what every other social platform does. Everybody has so-called story formats. Everybody is getting email newsletters. Everybody will look like Medium. Not saying that's a bad thing, only amusing. https://twitter.com/...
