- bhhaskin 8y agoNo, but how can you trust a source if they are doing the exact same thing? They are a bit hypocritical.
- confounded 8y agoThe entire text-media industry has been transformed by Facebook and Google into this state. Anything that used to be a newspaper is now a DFP content-farm with all the shitty third-party js they can manage to cram in there. Sites with paid subscriptions seem just as bad on the inside. The only other business model I’ve seen work is “be owned by a billionaire”.
- bhhaskin 8y agoI totally agree with you. I edited my original comment to hopefully make it a little bit clear.
- jacquesm 8y agoYou are confusing the writer of the article with the newspaper management. The writer can very well have a valid point while the newspaper management sees things differently. In fact, the writer may very well make this point because the newspaper management sees differently and yet, the article is published.
