RT @ptrschmdtnlsn: Ed Zitron accused Jacob Coxon of "grift" for leaving a 7- or 8-figure-per-year job to start a Substack. ptrschmdtnlsn argues that while one can disagree with the decision, calling it self-interested grift is "objectively insane" — walking away from that income is the opposite of self-interest.
