We’re Not Trying to “Monetize”, We Are Trying to Survive
We get at least 3 feedback messages a day giving us advice on how to better “monetize” RSN. Which completely misses the point. We are not trying to build an empire on Wall Street … we’re trying to derail the empires that already exists there.
We focus on our mission, which is social justice. The money is a necessity for the organization’s survival.
