- jsilence 5y agoI loathe this every time when I have to fish and dig for the actual study that is being reported on in any media. To me that is bad journalism.
- fighterpilot 5y agoIt's good business, though. They want you to click on another link or ad on their site. If they even shared identifying information of the authors, you're more likely to go to google and search for it.
- kbob 5y agoWorse, it can take several hours to thoroughly study a research paper. That's hundreds of cheap articles whose ads you didn't see.
- specialist 5y agoHuh. Of course. Hoarding the attention budget. Great framing, thanks.
