Excellent, evocative line: "Content production assumed a barbell shape, with masses of user-generated content on one end and the Times’s big-budget reporting on the other."
Let me draw one quick parallel: when Facebook took an algorithmic dump on Buzzfeed's posts, Buzzfeed's traffic suffered badly. When Twitter buried Substack posts, traffic here also slowed... but probably not fatally. How we adapt to this is up to us.

Registered! I'm looking forward to this. Thanks for organizing it, Jasmine.
