I resent news media relying heavily on clicks. Simultaneously, I understand that news organizations must generate profit somehow, and that many people are unwilling to pay for news.
The problem, as I see it: I pay for a news subscription. News Organization continues to produce low-quality content because they continue to rely on advertising. So, I am paying for the same quality of content as when I did not pay; I am wasting money.
Theoretically, if everyone paid for a news subscription, then News Organization could afford to produce content that relies less, or ideally not at all, on advertising. However, as it stands, I do not trust the quality of News Organization, because it currently relies on advertising, and consequently does not optimize for quality: accuracy, timeliness, transparency and newsworthiness.
