With many creators and corporations reevaluating their social media engagement, the future points toward more private, controlled communication channels. The move towards newsletters and subscription services allows creators to connect with their fans without the chaos of public social media.
Mark Millar’s announcement exemplifies this trend.

The appeal is clear — fewer trolls, more direct engagement, and less risk of being canceled or harassed.
