I feel news was of better quality 15 years ago than today so I wouldn't mind going back to that state of the world. And 15 years ago pervasive tracking wasn't a thing. So yes, please, let's kill it with fire.
- Supermancho 6y ago> I feel news was of better quality 15 years ago than today Having been around for the last 30 years (yes, even before the 90s!) I can say that the quality of news and the NUMBER of news sources is far greater. The amount of data online has only increased and has increasingly been sourced. Imagine the world before, when the only source of news was to interview someone in person or read the copy that particular source was using in the narrative.

- feanaro 6y agoI've been around for the same amount of time so that's not the cause of the difference in our opinions. What might be is that I'm not talking about general availability of information, but news specifically. To me, news quality seems to have plummeted roughly at the same time as the rise of targeted ad industry, which is also the time news sources became "free" (as in the reader not paying any money for it).
