I think that the ones that will best survive in an ad-blocking world would be hobbyist journalists and bloggers. That does not seem to be that bad to be quite frank as it would probably lead to higher quality content, less copy-paste and less clickbaits.
- candiodari 9y agoNot really unfortunately. The ones that thrive are the ones not doing it for money. Propaganda, state and commercial, are by far the biggest ones.
- fastball 9y agoWhat the heck is a hobbyist journalist?
- sangnoir 9y ago> What the heck is a hobbyist journalist? Shills and Kool-aid-drinking zealots mostly - they are the ones usually motivated enough to do 'journalism' for free. Don't expect any professionalism, depth or any form of investigative journalismbeyond tweet-storms.
- marcus_holmes 9y agoMe. I run http://startupnews.com.au http://startupnews.com.au despite making no money doing it (as the plaintive pleas for sponsorship and donations on the site show). The Perth startup community needs it, so I run it. There's similar blogs for every small community, run by people who care about that community. Usually unfunded, and only covering stories of interest to that community.
