It's a very American platform, in line with the First Amendment. It's also worth stressing that as it is an open platform where anyone can create an account and start posting, the competition is fierce and the quality bar is therefore raised significantly. As is the case on YouTube, with this model, the vast majority of contributors have very few followers and little influence or impact. If you manage to rise above the average and generate meaningful income and engagement, it means your product is of a unique quality. That's what happens with open-market models: 80% of the content is low-to-average, and 20% is above standard. And I have often found that that 20% is actually superior, from an editorial and methodological standpoint, to a lot of content by the institutional media.
