i wouldn’t call my bluesky account my primary revenue driver but i’d estimate it’s generated between $12 and $14 million so far. there’s obviously growth potential but that’s about where you want it to be at the one-year mark, so i’m not at all worried about it

A reminder for non-academics that if you ever can't find access to an academic's paper or article, you should feel free and encouraged to reach out to them to ask for a pre-print version. They will not think of it as an imposition; they will, in fact, be EXTREMELY gratified by your interest.
