Backed by who?
Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), a Silicon Valley venture capital firm with a recent history of questionable investments...
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Post, a publisher-focused Twitter/X alternative backed by a16z, is bringing its social news-sharing app to Android today along with new tools that will make it easier for creators to share their newsletter content on the platform.
By doing so, writers will have additional opportunities to monetize their existing publications, thanks to Post’s micropayments system where users pay a small amount of money to read individual items in their feed.
To date, the company has already signed up more than 100 partners to publish on its platform, including The Boston Globe, The Brookings Institution, Fortune, The Independent, Insider, LA Times, NBC News, Politico, ProPublica, Reuters, SF Chronicle, MIT Technology Review, USA Today, Wired, World Politics Review, CNN, Semafor, Mashable, The New Yorker, Yahoo Finance and others.
To use the feature, a one-time setup process is involved that allows creators to have their content ingested and distributed through Post’s platform automatically –similar to importing an RSS feed.
At launch, the company says 115 creators are working with Post to be verified and leverage the new tools, including Robert Reich, George Takei, Dan Rather, Aaron Rupar, Dave Pell, Scott Galloway and Allison Gill of Mueller, She Wrote, who collectively have more than 200,000 newsletter subscribers and 400,000 followers on the platform.
“We are thrilled to see the incredible growth and success that Post has achieved through our strong partnerships with publishers and creators,” said Bardin, in a statement announcing the new releases.
