It's also really poorly written. I am hoping that the looming adblockapocalypse just puts some selective pressure on writing, thinking, and editing.

  You seriously think that's going to help? The entire industry is hemorrhaging like crazy already due to low add revenue. All it means is that they can't afford real reporting and the experienced reporters and editors (if they even have editors) get replaced with recent grads who are wooed in by the old glamour. Buzzfeed might survive adblocks but good luck to anyone that needs real content.

    No. I don't. I wish it would, but the theory that a huge collapse in ad revenue that leads to widespread extinction among the bottom-feeders who rush to publish crappy junk -- or simply push someone else's crappy junk out wrapped in a few lines of useless "editorial" -- the theory that this will somehow magically be a return to a golden age of journalism; this theory is almost laughably naïve.
