I mean I don't know what else to say besides the fact that Bloomberg itself deserves all the blame for having a reporter compensation scheme that rewards article's that "move the market". https://www.businessinsider.com/bloomberg-reporters-compensation-2013-12 https://www.businessinsider.com/bloomberg-reporters-compensa... It's like a fire chief coming out and saying I don't like the state of our neighbourhood after implementing firefighter pay per size of the fire.

What does that have to do with long articles? Are you suggesting long articles move the market more? Personally, I don't think paying journalists bonuses based on market moves a bad idea. Sure, there's sometimes misaligned incentives, but you could say the same about any compensation scheme.

  Neither the OP or the grandparent or my post had anything to do with long article's. The original premise is mediocre articles.

    Yeah but the TFA was mostly about long articles.
