Will Tower produce a magazine to the point of it being suitable for a head-to-head comparison with Asterisk Magazine, print aspects excluded?

ALL

In the event of controversy about whether a product meets this standard, a steeple channel emoji poll, unaffected by (in my estimation) likely-engineered channel membership changes, must show at least a 4:1 ratio of agree:disagree about whether Tower's attempt is importantly the same kind of thing as Asterisk. (Relevant criteria polled parties might consult include number of featured authors, first-publication-only policy, dedicated website, etc.)
