The Atlantic taketh away (Friedersdorf, Mounk, the bad Flanagan stuff), and the Atlantic giveth 👇. Said last month that this was a good idea from the magazine, but still not enough to get me to re-subscribe, unfortunately.

This is the rare case where I would much rather pay Charlie Warzel my money directly, rather than see such a good writer bundled with the same people who want to tell me that Ron DeSantis is an acceptable alternative to Trump, rather than just more Trumpism.
There may be a tipping point which brings me back to subscribing to the Atlantic, if enough writers I find vital get under the umbrella so I hold my nose and tolerate the utter nonsense that comes from some of their contributors, but as of yet, not there.
Though, if The Atlantic wanted to hire me as one of the contributors, that would probably do it, though I'm also thinking that at that point a subscription would be one of the fringe bennies.
Trying to think if there's a single writer that if The Atlantic grabbed them up I'd have to suck it up and re-subscribe. @tressiemcphd probably. Or if Molly Ivins was back. I'd tolerate CF's nonsense to be able to read her again.
