add to your points this gem:

>> places like Twitter and Medium that remain open and free.

WHAT? Perhaps only in the most literal sense of "they don't make you pay money to read", but that's not really what people mean when they talk about open and free...

People are starting to see through this BS that Wilsons of the world been preaching and profiting from for a quarter century. I only care for my money, not your job. I also prefer surveillance driven ad model that was never free and will never be free.

Not to mention how much of Medium is behind their paywall...
