I know how to code!! I have a certificate in web development from NYU and ran a whole developer community after college. As I have written, coders are out of work because AI is replacing that whole industry.
Or how you’re a psyop of People for Portland, two old out of touch white dudes that brought extra trauma to my community with their lies and hate by injecting MAGA policies and rhetoric into the only place I can call home??? Your 2 guys got people on the left saying Trump rhetoric solutions to solve the crisis People for Portland, Rene Gonzalez, Nathan Vasquez and their friend avoiding arrest in London for his lies created because the far right needs a gay Asian to validate their hate. We’ve gone through enough trauma, please be humble if you’re going to keep trying to be slick. Just because the news channels and Oregonian failed to cover your group doesn’t give you the right to co-op and take advantage of alternative media outlets.
@@amattyg how come you all are always so rittled and crippled by trauma, but never do anything to help yourselves...or well....ya know, the other option?
What is with these comments, what a bunch of spewing. Looking forward to your move back to roots, I’ve really appreciated your journalism including regarding disability justice and the current pandemic.
I think it’s the Twitter trolls that have been following her for a long time and hate her. She has interacted with a lot of freaks communities, so it makes sense that they show up and they show up loud. Fucking Goblins.
I've just read a very biased substack accusing people of sharing "conspiracy theories" about voter fraud via Starlink. In my opinion this isn't conveyed using objective reporting on events through a conduit without the writer's foregone conclusions. If events and speech are reported, the reader's conclusions would be similar to the writer's without presenting their conclusions in a complete picture.
Bold moves. I sense you are up to the challenge. Bravo! Please live up to what you say you are going to do and who you say you are, as much as is possible. Eyes and ears open. Truth and integrity as primary principles to say the least. I've subscribed and will continue to enjoy your content and talents so long as you continue to demonstrate the character and honesty expressed in this video. Congratulations btw. Good luck and thank you.
Taylor, your decision to go independent is daring and powerful. It's apparent how passionate you are about the quality, reach, and integrity of your journalism and influence. The idiots in this comment section are clearly not able to wrap their heads around a contemporary and versatile woman that is challenging the status quo. KEEP KILLING IT!!
Love this shift, can't wait to see where you go! By the way, it sounds like you used some noise cancellation algorithm that sounds really really unnatural and it's very off-putting. Idk for the rest of the audience, but I'd prefer to deal with some background noise than have it sound this unnatural.
I know!!! Don't even get me started, I worked with two editors to try to fix the audio. Basically the air conditioning started blasting halfway through the video and my mic broke, so it's a miracle that it could even be saved. But yeah, the audio sucks and I'm really sorry about that. I kind of had to make due with what I had because I shot this in NYC like 4 hours before my flight abroad.
Well, she's an idiot, so yeah not surprising that a "tech writer" would have such egregious tech. Cue the excuses about it being everyone else's fault. What a garbage human.
You nailed it, especially @4:40 mark! It was so weird seeing you (and others) excluded from the White House Creator Economy Conference. Excited for you in this next venture and happy to support you! Embarrassed to say that you're my first paid Substack 😆
@@Blergman I can’t believe you’re woke scolding bro we know what hole you crawled out of. You and all the other weirdos in this comment section are the freaks of the Internet and you’re wokescolding!
Wow this is great news. Now you can properly serve that super exclusive but dedicated group who have always backed your brand of reporting. As soon as I can spare the bucks I'll be joining your subs list. Amazingly, you are an amazing influencer model for those with no real education. I'm really going to miss that amazingly sassy everteeny vocal fry you brought to the mainstream. Keep brave keep strong. Slaaaaay.
Dude i KNOW, it was a whole nightmare thing. Basically my mic died then the air conditioner started blasting, I had to get an audio engineer to try to salvage it but I know it sucks. I'm sorry!! 😞
As a recovering journalism student who had trauma derail my dreams, I’m glad you never were influenced by the smugness that comes with it. You and John Oliver are opposite ends of the spectrum in an alternative approach to journalism that is a lot more factual than corporate media. My friends laugh at me for saying the Portland Mercury is the only factual news outlet here and it’s done so much harm to my sense of empathy. Once I get the means, I’m definitely supporting your work. It’s inspired me to keep fighting the good fight. Thank You!
Wow this is huge news. First of all congratulations on the big decision, I'd love to support you financially when I'm actually able to, but I have endless moral support in the meantime lol. Also can't believe you didn't study to become a journalist, I always thought the way you sound and talk and the things you do, all of it points to what journalists should BE, in format, technique and purpose. Bless you and thank you for everything you do.
Yes! I truly wish I had money! I just got my latest patreon bill and I have been acting like I make 20 bucks an hour or something. but I want to fund all the people that keep me informed and entertained. It may just be a symbolic amount, but I'll do what I can.
I like this move. The challenge from a reader’s perspective is that all of these substack subscriptions are getting rather expensive. Truly. I mean, there’s like 100 independent journalists I’d like to read. I wish that there was a way to aggregate subscriptions, something like the way music works. That’s not perfect, I know. Legacy media is broken, yes, but independent substack journalism doesn’t really work for the user. In any case, good luck.
Yeah, I totally get that. I've had to cut back myself now that I won't have a steady income. I know it all adds up and it's a broken system, but I'm hoping enough people can spare the $70 a year or $7 a month to keep me going. But I am with you! Wish there were more ways to group sub to writers.
Damn. Gonna miss reading you. Can't cancel my newspaper subs and I can't afford any more substacks! Gonna need legacy media to, like, continue to employ the writers I like for a long time :(
Congrats! This is such important work, and I'm glad my favorite tech UA-camr (and one of my favorite tech journalists) is leading the charge. Let me know if I can be any help.
I wanted to be a journalist because of Robert Fisk, but the reality would probably have ended up writing clickbait for Murdoch. Keep up the good fight Taylor, thank you for all you do and stay true to yourself.
True she is doing something right because there’s tons of butt hurt, freaks dick riders in this comment section. Like who the fuck are these people? Also, for the people saying she’s a hypocrite you know they follow the nastiest people onto Twitter. Like come on. 😂 are they getting paid for this? I hope they are.
How are you independent media when you rely on Substack??? That is not independent, that's just switching from WaPo to Wisdom Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz backed Substack lol
Can you explain to me the similaries between the pay structures between an indepedent publishing like Substack (users pay directly to content creator) VS. a mainstream media publisher like WaPo? You say Horowitz backed substack like Horowitz is handing out money with his own hands??
If you can't tell the difference between having a corporate gatekeeper editorializing/censoring you or policing your tone and not having one you're delusional lol
Conrgats and good luck!! ❤ Looking forward to reading your new work! Hope to see some anti covid activism covered too, here on youtube Lola Germs has been doing some fantastic work doing public health's job as the CDC is doing nothing
I guess when your gig, to work for the Orwellian Ministry of Truth, doesn't work out, you have to find something to do. After that departure, going to the Washington Post was akin to leaving the Titanic to board the Lusitania. But I guess there will always be a woke audience for her reporting.
It’s because she’s interacted with a lot of fringe weirdo communities, in her time. I think most come from Twitter and are libofTikTok fans. Those types of weirdos. So she’s kicked the hornets nest and that’s why all these little freaks are here. They don’t even get paid for this. Can you believe that?
I’m (38nb) a labour relations journalist and looking for work. Can I write/research for you? I have lots of ideas about how unemployment and content creation have influenced the labour market. Let’s crush the legacy media big boys club!!!
I'm not hiring any contributors yet, because I don't even have enough money to cover my rent. But if I end up making enough I do hope to eventually build it out!
Absence of an opinion is not indicative of neutrality or centralism. Most likely they don't want to be cancelled, demonetised or banned. Especially when most people lack access to meager substinance of unemployment benefits.
Similar to how Jack Warner, the co-founder of Warner Bros, mocked TV when it first came out. These guys really need to learn how to share, it's a lesson for 3 year olds.
Good luck! It's been a busy past few years for content creators I like going independent, previous one was @SecondWindGroup, there's maybe a story idea in there. Glad to support you.
Never too old to code 👍
At 900 years old you reach code good will you
I know how to code!! I have a certificate in web development from NYU and ran a whole developer community after college. As I have written, coders are out of work because AI is replacing that whole industry.
In your first Upost you say, "Unfortunately, I am not independently wealthy." Aren't you in your parents' will for hundreds of millions?
Lol no absolutely not!!! Not even close haha
Uh huh.@@TaylorLorenz
If you ever want to talk about how people are ripping off established youtube channels with AI, I have a lot to say.
