I recently bought a local news org.
One of the things I hate about the media industry is the constant "we're dying" or "this is going to die."
Go to a local news conference that's supposedly about the future and it feels a lot like a funeral.
Some other way of doing things will come along. Help figure it out or get the fuck out of the way and stop trying to spread your shitty dark version of the future - because you have no idea what happens next.
- johnnyanmac 3y ago>Some other way of doing things will come along given the motivation of those at top, that doesn't make me sigh in relief. The "other way of doing things" in the 2010's was ads everywhere and abuse of SEO to get people's eyes on what they want to see, not what's important. And that's not even going into the social media dark patterns. Now we have tech CEO's owning newspapers... so maybe those social media dark patterns will seep in in the end regardless. I don't think dismissing these possibilities is any more helpful.
