You know what might disappear in the next 5 years? Forbes.
- chamanbuga 14y agoSo eloquently yet so powerful
- ExpiredLink 14y agoAt least journalism 1.0 (telling something noteworthy and meaningful) will be extinct.
- saraid216 14y agoThe sad part is that this isn't Journalism 1.0. Journalism 1.0 was pennysheets. Remember those?
- nilium 14y agoWhen I consider the way their articles seem to consist mainly of link bait without substance, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them disappear within that timeframe. I could swear I remember a time when folks would point to Forbes as a good publication, but I'm not so sure now. Probably a symptom of focusing on ad revenue rather than editorial quality and journalistic integrity.
- tedsuo 14y agoYeah, the amount of linkbait that comes out of there makes me feel like they have intentionally targeted HN. After clicking on a forbes link, only to discover it was literally Quora wrapped in an iframe, I stopped clicking. I now just check to comments to see if any interesting discussion actually occurred.

- cheald 14y agoThe best part of the line was the audience reaction. He obviously hit a very sore spot. IIRC, that was the only line in the 20-minute routing that drew boos/groans.
- vijayr 14y ago"might" or "will"? From this fluff piece, I am leaning towards "will"
- muyuu 14y agoI was also thinking about the irony of having Forbes, a dinosaur of the old press, talking about the impossibility of adapting to new paradigms.
