"much of trad media has fueled and catered to polarized extremes... in doing so, the opportunity for dialogue is lost"

i would say that Farcaster found — and is seizing — that opportunity.

where Elon's tweet gets interesting: "Twitter aspires to be the most respected advertising platform". cc @antonio any thoughts?

Elon seems to be on the verge of saying ads polarize media, when most evidence points to the opposite: our golden era of relatively balanced news media was due solely to the advertising business model that meant things couldn't get too partisan. 

Subscriptions will likely make things worse, not better.
