- TeMPOraL 11y agoYeah, and at this point it wouldn't hurt if they all just died - they provide negative utility to society by oscillating between mostly writing lies and clickbait bullshit. (INB4 you reflexively downvote me for saying bad things about Respectable Newspapers, take a moment to think about the last time they wrote something in your area of expertise and note how big a mix of lies, bullshit and misunderstanding the article was. There is no reason to assume that everything else they cover is true.) Journalism has a much bigger problem than just their business model being ruined by digitization. They need to figure out a business model that incentivizes actual, honest reporting.
