99% of online "news" organizations would go under. We'd be left with a few publishers that can survive on their readers paying to view the content. Similar to how TV/radio/book publishers/movies/etc already work. There would no longer be profit incentive to promote clickbait articles that just re-link to the original source, no more fake news sites being spread around social media, no more perverse incentives to get as many clicks as possible without providing any actual value of your own. Bring it on! I want this future so much.
