I feel like this is said about every technology. It reminds me of this Silicon Valley scene: https://youtu.be/w61d-NBqafM?si=hCY58gE6b2pV9khm
100 years ago, nobody could imagine a job like computer programmer. Jobs will disappear, but new jobs will be created.

Well, I don't want advertisers to exist.
I don't understand this POV at all. Advertising provides a fair playing field for up-and-coming businesses. If startups could not advertise, how would people find out about it? If I want to start an eCommerce brand, people won't suddenly show up on my website. If I open a new club in a city, people don't just suddenly show up.
Without advertising, the world would be filled with large companies with no incentive to innovate because it would be impossible to discover their competitors.

One of the companies I worked for was an ESOP [0]. Has there ever been anything like that in terms of journalistic publications?

I run a B2B media company called Payload and all our employees own equity in the company.

Journalism startups. There have been some.
- Contentville. Whatever happened to that?
- Brill's Content? Started by the heir to a streetcar manufacturing company.
- Vice Media is in bankruptcy and about to be sold.
- Gawker - crushed by Peter Thiel.
Any big successes?
I run a B2B media company. There are tons of success in B2B media:
- Aging Media (sold yesterday to PE) - Morning Brew (sold for $75M) - Blockworks bootstrapped and just raised first round at $135M valuation with $25M revenue - Skift is a profitable media venture - Industry Dive (sold for $530M) - Politico (sold for $1B)
You also have established companies like Informa.

This week we launched Ignition, a media company covering the business and policy of nuclear energy. We are starting with a twice-weekly free newsletter that takes less than 5 minutes to read.
The first edition goes out on February 22nd.
Me + my cofounder started Payload last year to cover the space industry, from seed round to SPAC and beyond. Our first (and primary) product is a daily newsletter covering the business and policy of space. It's free and it takes ~5min to read.
