Back when I worked for a publisher, we were in total control of our output. We managed the editorial, the printing and (to a degree) the distribution. We got the revenue from the sales of the magazines and the advertising.
Now, so many content creators are at the mercy of the platforms they choose to use, which can change their terms and conditions at any time, and even change their entire business model.
OnlyFans temporarily seeking to ban adult content, YouTube changing algorithms to punish creators that don't churn out content daily (and reducing payments), Instagram trying to stuff photographers by turning it into TikTok and being video focussed, Facebook doing goodness knows what and so on.
For newspapers and magazines, you may reach a wider audience (fair to say the Internet has killed print sales) but you are never in total control because you can't even control the editorial at times (it may breach terms, or not get promoted) and certainly have zero control of the publishing element, as well as the revenue.
I realise this is off topic, but it IS relevant IMO because Twitter has become a platform a lot of businesses rely on for customer services. It works well most of the time, but if it dies - what replaces it? How many people are used to going on to Twitter to get information about a delayed train, flight, bus, or whatever?
