I might be wrong but it seems that it's a good example of the bubble that people have been talking about.
1. It's a blogging site. A nice one. But that has already been done many times over.
2. If they wanted to replace publishing houses then their first focus should have been to get quality people to write articles AND pay them well.
3. Failing (2) they should have made deals with the news beareaus and newspapers without good online presence to be their article backends.
I don't think creating a nice blogging website is very disruptive in this day and age.
- cocktailpeanuts 10y agoYou're making an assumption that they want any of that. They don't. There's no money in those ideas you just talked about. Also, doing what publishing houses used to do but a bit better, and helping failing newspapers host their content are opposite of "disruptive". Those are obvious ideas that someone from that industry would just come up with if they wanted to make a few bucks. I'm being harsh to make a point that anyone can criticize about someone else's idea easily, but it's a completely different story if you're actually working on it.
