Elon Musk takes aim at Wikipedia The billionaire has become one of the most prominent supporters of President-elect Donald Trump.

If you've never donated to Wikipedia, now's the time. Elon Musk is attacking it because it's one of the only sources of honest, curated information that he can't control.

I'd love to write an article on this for @netokracija.bsky.social (you already had an interview there with @chasingstillnes.bsky.social haha) - interested in getting into the details? :D

And it's not just PR's fault. A lot of B2C "influencers" don't.... cover stories. They do their thing and then get sponsors. If you're a company, your only option of communication is paying them. Media has a dual editorial and business "track" so it's easier to get stories written about. Hm...

Completely agreed! Also, a lot of PR people do the same as influencer marketers - sponsorships, not actually get stories done.

As a journalist, I'd say there are few "Editorial PR" people that GET IT and get stories writen.

I see PR trying to work with influencers, but they always fall back on $$$

Your talk/post inspired me to write a post of my own for @netokracija.bsky.social - would you mind if I used this meme graphic (love it!) with credit and backlink?

I would actually argue that โ€œjust publishingโ€ was an early Twitter hack. I would tweet multiple times a day and got 30k followers because the algo rewarded it.

Publish in the โ€˜slow gameโ€™ long term, but do play the gameโ€ฆ a bit?

What do you think?

While I agree with you and playing the โ€˜slow social media gameโ€™ (Love this!โ€™ - I worry itโ€™s another extreme?

Unlike the X algo hackers and Linkedin inspo influencers, Iโ€™ve met a lot of great thinkers who just publish and then ignore the platform - get dissapointed - and quit too soon.

ShiftMag Insightful engineering content & community

I was doing a fair bit of research when we launched Shiftmag.dev last year and honestly think WordPress + Convertkit still ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Substack is IMHO better because of network effects and user base, but doesnโ€™t offer the added automation of Convertkit or Beehive.

Additionally, the new Ollie WP theme is ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Just remembered why I chose Notion over Craft Docs... Its ubiquity as a "backup" integration for the reader and podcasts apps I use (Matter and Snipd).

Just checked and the default integrations are Notion, Obsidian... but never, ever Craft ๐Ÿคท
