Elon Musk is officially buying Twitter. In today’s show, NLW argues that the debate and discussion around the move is largely focused on content moderation policies, when the more fundamental issue is the relationship of the advertising business model to what the algorithm prioritizes.

But it’s easy to stall once you see a blank page or get self conscious about what exactly you’re writing.
