- ethbro 8y agoI believe the parent's argument is that people are terrible at "curating their own updates that are relevant to them from the web." And that having a voter base which exclusively does so is antithetical to objective truth and a functioning democracy.
- simplecomplex 8y agoI am part of the voting base, and I much prefer having greater choice in what I read and where I consume my news. I'm more informed now than I was before the Web. I'd prefer not to go back to a world where the only source of current events was the newspapers and television.
- wavefunction 8y agoWho's arguing that? You can get important local news from a newspaper/local journalist source and still 'self curate' your own interests. Millions of people are already doing this.
