Why do you think so? I don't see clickbait industry seriously affected. They churn out a ton of crappy content which costs almost nothing to produce (at least if compared with reputable journalistic work), monetize it with low quality ads for shitty CPM rates, but as long as part of their content goes viral, tons and tons of pageviews allow to balance everything.
GDPR changes nothing in this business.
- Arqu 9y agoThere has to be some limit to how low they can go cost wise in delivering crap. Also as it becomes harder to get big bucks, people will shift to other lines of crap work. GDPR in my mind influences this indirectly in the long run. It's not like it will kill fake news the week after.
