The point Dubner made in the blog post is, I think, a valid reason to leave. It used to be that Freakonomics was a book with a follow-up blog trying to build/retain an audience for book #2. In that context, getting NYT to provide the platform makes a lot of sense. But when you're tossing in a whole lot of multimedia stuff and films and podcasts, it starts to make sense to run your own show. Sort of like when you're starting up, it might make sense to run stuff on VPSes and shared servers and cloud or whatever, but as you scale, the incentives to own your own boxes triumph. |
