Hey Bari. As I was finishing your article today I saw this:
“that we never rely solely on advertisers or investors or an algorithm. “
I guess it surprised me a bit, probably because of the words “solely” and “advertisers”.
I went back to your launch article and found nothing like this, and the word “advertisers” grits on me enough that I thought I’d ask... Do you think in the long run the subscription model will not work effectively enough to grow and you will need to allow advertising? I sure hope not but would like to hear your thoughts on this “mission statement” kind of stuff. IMO advertising cripples independence, and at least I was hoping the free press was going to try to not do this at all costs.
Regardless, love The Free Press and wish it all the luck in the world to prosper and crush msm (without of course becoming one of “them” along the way.)

She already has advertisements, they're in her podcast. Maybe she was referring to the ads in her podcast?
