- scholia 13y agoFor many years, I was a paying subscriber to the online version of the Wall Street Journal. A highly select audience, you'd think. And yes, the comments on that were mostly rubbish as well ;-)
- Bahamut 13y agoTo be fair, it is the Wall Street Journal :P . Using real names does not fix the problem completely, I agree - you easily see the effect on articles on politics on news sites, with the mass shill accounts. However, I argue that it is a lot greater of a deterrent.
