Been at ad-tech companies and seen this happen in person.
Even 20 years ago this was common pattern for talk radio.
- MaxBarraclough 6y ago> Alternative view point sites aren’t really possible. They're certainly possible for alternatives to, say, reddit. These sites already exist. Are you referring to the high costs of serving video?
- treeman79 6y agoVideo. Forums are one thing. Hosting huge amounts of videos, adding in all the security to keep DOS from taking out the system is a lot of money. Oh and since most sites do this all for free, you can’t really change anything either.
- jfrunyon 6y agoOh, you're SO right. Fox News has so much trouble getting advertisers. So do Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones.
- treeman79 6y agoFox News has crappy advertisers. Ones that don’t give a crap what others think. Need some gold coins? Rush used to talk all the time about the nasty calls his clients got. It was routine for them to get flooded with hate calls.
- makomk 6y agoYeah, and othre mainstream media organisations - including the freaking New York Times - have successfully campaign dto get many of their remaining advertisers to pull out. To the point where, at least if the people campaigning for this were to be believed, many of the targetted Fox shows couldn't get ads at all.
