Another symptom of the old media death spiral is an unrelenting stream of attacks on the “enemy”, mostly Facebook and other platforms that remove their gatekeeper status and push the value of data (articles) to zero.
For instance right now on HN there is a NYT article about a journalist quitting Facebook: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18706254 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18706254
Definitely a non-story but old media will use any chance it can get to tarnish internet brands.
- matt4077 8y agoIt’s heavily upvoted on HN, so it would seem that, maybe, people disagree about it being a “total non-story”.
- malvosenior 8y agoA good portion of the comments on that thread are people wondering why a journalist quitting Facebook is a story.
