The impact of articles depends on interest, not some "outreach" in social control media, which is generally a waste of time and over-reliance on hostile (or at best uncaring) third parties. Remember the business model of companies that act as middlemen.
We cover issues we deem important, not what we think will make us popular. This often means going against the "current" or corporate consensus. The money is typically spent promoting falsehoods that are economically convenient to those who already have all the capital. Being 'controversy-shy' means self-censorship.
We're not the Linux Foundation. We don't need to lick the boots of the rich.
Yes, that means IBM, Microsoft, Google and so on. █
