You can actually learn a lot about, you know, just to know what they're doing.

They put it all out there, right?

So the QSHA subscriber is a lot like the NYT subscriber.

It's like the party member in China who reads the party newsletter and says, they're expected to like repeat what the,

them to say and to change their narrative as the party changed their narrative.

We're for Russia, we're against Russia, we're this, we're that, right?

In the same way, the NYT subscriber is whatever the Democrat party wants, we will say, and they just kind of go back and forth in the wind like this as, you know, they, they're for this, they're against this and they're for this again, right?

They acknowledge something several years ago and vice versa, right?

So once you kind of see NYT equals CCP in this sense, right?

Um,

is they traded the dissidents, the people who they couldn't control, the tech guys, for thousands of essentially... And so they traded power for money.

Right?

That's what NYT did.

They lost influence over the center.

They lost... But they did... It's a little bit like, honestly, like Alex Jones or something like that, right?

They went to the... You know, they built an audience...

on farther and farther into that audience and they never say anything.

They have what people would call audience capture, right?

That's exactly right.

But basically what they're saying about that is they cross-subsidize it in the same way like everything gets cross-subsidized where they have the fun stuff and then they, you know, have the eat your vegetables stuff.
