Maybe free newspapers go out, and free blog platforms go out, but that means that physical local papers don't go out of business and stop having to rely on clickbait. Losing some things means gaining others.
- jefftk 7y agoSorry, clarifying: your prediction is that if internet ads became much less valuable we would see (a) the return of paper newspaper delivery and (b) the end of clickbait?
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 7y agoI doubt it'll go as far as that, but I'd expect at least that if people had had to pay for news all along, the news ecosystem would have been less devastated by the pay-per-click internet than they have been in reality.
