We don’t have the hundred of thousands or millions in resources to dump into staff and news and ads that these big orgs do.

And that’s because of automation tools that we’ve built out over years. I’ve deleted the original post now though. I guess people here are less accepting of AI improving things and letting small independent news organizations thrive.

Moderately MOCO @moderatelymoco.bsky.social · 1d
