IMHO we have to stop treating platform co-ops as an ideological experiment and start building robust cooperative businesses with a strong focus on revenue growth. These a lot of complexity but we CAN do this.

Tough pill to swallow: nearly every platform cooperative is a commercial failure.
They have more value in expanding imagination for what our online economy *could* look like.
I don’t want collective ownership to be cute though. I want to win.

Really pleased to see over 100 writers become co-owners of @novlrtweets already. Building a business owned by those who care about it most should be standard practice. Aligning incentives works. novlr.org/co-ownership

Among the casualties of the SVB disaster is the Bay non-profit ecosystem. SO many Bay Area rich folks gave to DAF’s and not directly to non-profits. Those disbursements were the life’s blood of many places. If the Fed is only going to cover $250k, lots of NPO/NGO closures coming.

Just tip of what happens when you thoughtfully pair AI with a human expert (aka another parent).
AI can have the job none of us parents asked for.
