On August 4, 2014, Topolsky (co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Verge) stepped down from The Verge and Vox Media to join Bloomberg "as the editor of a series of new online ventures it is introducing as part of a revamped journalism strategy". He left Bloomberg in July 2015 after clashes with Michael Bloomberg over the direction of its digital media strategy and started the digital news company The Outline.

Thank you for the link. From the Wikipedia article on Outline:

“In March 27, 2019, it was announced that Bryan Goldberg and his company Bustle Digital Media had bought The Outline” [1].

So a VC-backed site got acquired by a publisher whose customers are advertisers. Meanwhile, Bloomberg’s “nag wall” is neutered with incognito mode. Outline remains, to me, to be a terrible trade-off.
