> news requires money. Bullshit doesn't Had a thought about this. We could once have argued that volunteer editors would bullshit too much for use in an encyclopedia. But Wikipedia taught us that a special kind of person will contribute high quality edits for free in their spare time, just because they want to fight against knowledge scarcity. That same knowledge contribution instinct could be tapped for news. That gives us back news without seo spam essays and ad cascades. In fact one of the most reliable sources of world news is already the Wikipedia current events index. I feel like this idea could scale up a bit more to specific niches, like various industry news, local news, special interests, etc.
