As an illustrator and cartoonist, I agree that it's up to we artists to fight back against the crushing tech broligarchy. As the web and search engines get further co-opted by AI driven "oppression by search limitation" similar to that of China, it's important to get our work into as many independent and real world publishing/self-publishing venues as we can find.
Another bright spot to add to your list are publications like McSweeney's or The American Bystander (theamericanbystander.substack.com). Bystander publisher and editor Mike Gerber has been busting his hump to make sure his magazine remains steadfast in its mission to stay strong as a voice of satire and humor that can pierce through autocratic propaganda. Supporting magazines like these guarantees that free speech survives.
