- mr_spothawk 10y agocare to expound on that?
- bcoates 10y agoI'm mostly on the buy side so I'm not sure how much of the dogwhistle comes through, but here's a random article about how Vox is basically a platform for brands to sell products as news: http://digiday.com/publishers/flush-cash-vox-media-seeks-tech-advantage-native-ads/ http://digiday.com/publishers/flush-cash-vox-media-seeks-tec... Obviously they can't be too blatant about it but Vox promoting any position you pay them to is literally their business model. I assume they don't tell their writers this but the softball neoliberalism that they pitch by default is brand-safe enough that nobody'd notice.
