[QUOTE="Anon Adderlan, post: 9285369, member: 53053"] To be clear I'm in the "I want to believe" camp as I'm dreading the inevitable information dark age we're facing. This is why I'm being critical as opposed to ignoring it entirely. I wouldn't be so sure, especially when the quarterbacks are experienced in an industry and have different perspectives on it. Which is their only value proposition and depends on staking a claim to the top of the information food chain. I was too specific. Ads are a dead industry for content creators at this point. That market is moving to siloed information you have to pay to access or be heard. So maybe they're ahead of the curve, but now they have to create the infrastructure without any developers [I]in addition to[/I] figuring out how to draw people out of one silo and into theirs, all while the majority of users are asking them for a #Facebook page. Journalism is also a dead industry, and no those [I]aren't[/I] happy noises I'm making. But let's be honest, anything that was reported by these founders would have come out from insiders soon after if not far sooner. Competition puts media outlets [I]out of business[/I], and there comes a point where the services themselves cannot be meaningfully improved and it comes down to wealth and ubiquity. And if you're just entering the market you need to present a compelling value proposition right out the gate. So what [I]is[/I] that beyond the good feeling one may get for supporting 'real' journalism? [/QUOTE]
