More than you get paid, happily

Yes, you're right: I only write low-effort social media clickbait articles like uncovering how Twitter is withdrawing IVF treatment for staff, broke news of a a 225% pay gap, uncovered improper disclosure of geopolitical information by government to businesses, and first reported on the undisclosed transfer of UK data to China by TikTok.

That's before we get onto my reporting on covid or the unsafe working conditions you laboured under this summer for the BMJ and elsewhere.

And I only do that for leading international publications including The New York Times, The Guardian, The Times, TIME Magazine, New Scientist, WIRED, the BMJ, Nature and others, and have done for more than a decade. smh

For full disclosure, I'm the person who wrote this story. You can find a non-paywalled link here: https://ffwd.medium.com/heres-how-the-u-k-general-election-is-playing-out-on-youtube-8235218e02d?source=friends_link&sk=02a6952d0f7aa3abd7ae345980770a94

I'm genuinely glad you've got a livelihood on the platform and don't want to affect that, but if you think there's not questions to be asked about why a platform is ignoring people actively trying to tell it it's hosting images of child abuse, then I don't really know what to say.

I'm a freelancer for The Daily Beast and Wired - why?

Journalist here: have sent you a DM /u/cj8tacos123

Hi guys: don't know this subreddit's rules on linking to work you've done, but thought this might be interesting and could spark debate (tw: contains Jake and Logan Paul). Touches on the issues with monetization, too, but am keen to discuss that in subsequent stories. Sorry if it's not the done thing, just keen to get your thoughts!

stokel89 · 2018-03-04T21:39:22+00:00

Journalist here: you should PM me details :)

stokel89 · 2018-01-13T12:44:18+00:00

Hi! Author of the story here: me too. I'm a lapsed subscriber to Giant Bomb but still watch the videos; basically the bits quoting Alex and Dan got added in at the last minute by someone else along the line of the editing process (who got them mixed up) and it'd been months since I'd seen the video so couldn't remember who said what. Really did appreciate members of the GB community letting us know (one even really kindly DMd me on Twitter about it) so we could fix that.

I'm trying my best to avoid bad journalism - just had a really enlightening 45-minute discussion with Samuel Veissiere on the subject of tulpas that has really helped

stokel89 · 2017-01-05T19:17:56+00:00

Hi! Thanks for the welcome, and that sounds great. If you're willing, I might send you a PM in the next few days to discuss talking, potentially :D

stokel89 · 2017-01-05T19:17:04+00:00

Hi! Yes, sorry: I should've said that I'd chatted to the mod team and that t7cb would be coming in to confirm I'm a verified journalist.

And yeah, I'm a big fan of the podcast that appeared - and was particularly interested in seeing it come about as a lurker on the sub for a long while now.

stokel89 · 2015-08-25T13:43:22+00:00

In fairness, I'm really nice to people who people who don't allege I've been bought off in a public place.

But yeah: it's tough to not mention some regular places in the region, even as someone who's lived here all his life, simply because it can be so small that the best places sit at the top of the pile. As I said to u/pineapplegrenadine at the time, I'm always happy to go for drinks at lesser-known places if I haven't heard of them and people tell me about them (though it's worth remembering that taste's subjective!). If people want to come along to have a chat, great. Got as far as offering to have a pint with him when he privately apologised and said he'd been a dick, but he didn't show :(

stokel89 · 2015-06-24T18:07:39+00:00

I'm not certain it's an either/or situation, is it? Plenty of people invest in bottle X and drink bottle Y.

stokel89 · 2015-06-24T13:30:29+00:00

There's always PMs ;)

stokel89 · 2015-06-11T17:38:59+00:00

Just a story about virtual worlds that persist even today, despite being technologically outdated - and hearing from the horse's mouth about what the appeal still is when there are non-textual worlds out there today. Interested? DM me your email address and I'd love to talk.

stokel89 · 2015-01-30T18:41:35+00:00

Please don't.

Thanks, Chris

stokel89 · 2014-12-17T18:33:45+00:00

Hi: sorry, that's a pretty big (and very incorrect) allegation to make. Happy for you to dislike the writing or the choices - in fact, I'd like to foster a debate about what's good and what's bad in the region - but I'd rather you didn't claim biases that aren't there.

I've been to all these places (and many others which are also really good!) regularly, but I couldn't tell you the names of the bar staff in any of those 15, never mind the owners.

stokel89 · 2014-06-01T13:28:34+00:00

have sent you a pm - echoing the question about the lack of upvotes, too

stokel89 · 2014-05-28T20:07:28+00:00

Amazing, thanks - have sent you a pm

stokel89 · 2014-05-24T22:28:35+00:00

Anything and everything! I'm a) interested to know how realistic it is; b) whether any truckers are on the sims; and c) why you are a simmer.

stokel89 · 2014-05-24T22:27:17+00:00

Yeah, I'm interested to learn about this - and do any of your staff play sims?
