Great subheadline.
Total sidebar, but has any frequent reader of The Economist not been irked by the recent removal of the comment section? It remained one of the few places with a healthy signal-to-noise ratio and frequently the comments provided more insight than the articles they sat below (The Economist is wont to prescriptions as much as descriptions which helps to create debate).
Such a shame.
- anonu 9y agoAre you referring to the "Letters" section? I'm looking at last week's Economist and they still have it - unless the removal was even more recent!
- rwj 9y agoYour experience was different then mine. I did not find the qualify of the comments better than other news sites. I also noticed quite a bit of spamming just before they removed the comments from articles.
