"I used to have Ransquawk delayed 1 min" Did you know the benzinga squawk on TOS was delayed at least 20 seconds , but not divulged to the users ? Been like that for years. So the paying cust use them as fodder. Kinda sad really.
The best thing about ZH was that many times commenters, that were expert in the field being discussed, would pop in with insights that even the article’s author clearly didn’t understand. Divergent experts going back and forth was a valuable education. That was absolutely friggin’ awesome. They forgot why Fight Club was a thing ... or simply were Drudged by the usual collectivist billionaire propagandists. “Premium” is way overpriced and “Free” morphed into an opportunity cost to use. Two feet, two shots. BTW, Hat Tip to Baron and for his vision, strategy and long lived operations. Ditto Sponsors. Well done all around! T
Given risk of stuff like that (if not a given) for an expensive service, 1 min delay was fine for me. Just used it to trend follow major moves that take 5+ minutes to hours to unfold. The extra minute just gave extra time observing the market action before I heard the reason.
Personally I find ZH to be a useful and engaging source of information. Of course they have a clearly-staked angle and bias, as do all media outlets these days. Also, the increasingly oppressive censorship environment is no joke, wherein oligarchs and Woketalitarians are collaborating to advance their respective interests. Earlier this year newspapers were in all seriousness describing ZH as a "far-right website" and Naked Capitalism as a trojan horse for Russian intelligence. I'd sub for $50 a year (which is how much guys like Taibbi and Greenwald charge on Substack) and forego the other content bells and whistles.
Those are all good points but I guess i dont personally see the value in it for me to pay 30 a month. maybe for some people it is. i think the walls street journal is 20 bucks a month. i dont have any idea how they make money either
WSJ is worth it at least. ZH is ok for general timely news coverage on some issues you might not see in the mainstream, but you have to mentally filter out all the gold bugs, dollar bears, and predicting the 50th of the last 2 stock market crashes...
