Great points here, + an added wrinkle: in one of my comp classes I use an open educational resource essay collection, and about half the essays were originally posted on The Conversation, since the site publishes everything under a Creative Commons license: theconversation.com/us/republish... (1/n)
A new post: Please stop writing for and sharing the work from outlets that do not pay writers. @theconversationus.bsky.social has millions of dollars in annual revenues and should, at the very least, pay a small fee to grad students and adjuncts. Please read. Please repost.
