Originally posted by netstat do you think the dichotomy is between 'free' and paid content? was thinking about the problem of shitty online journalism recently and had the idea that it largely comes down to incentives, where 'free' publications want to churn out clickbait type bullshit that is quick, easy and epistemically irresponsible because this incentivises faster consumption, more clicks and therefore more potential advertising revenue, while people who are willing to pay for a subscription to something like the economist are more likely to want higher quality, more factually accurate investigative journalism and the writers aren't weighed down as much by the need to optimise around the publication's advertising strategy
Maybe indirectly but it comes down to the actual ability of the writers, vs "bloggers".
You know how I navigate free news articles I see on the web? I immediately hunt for and click on the source. It will take me to an outlet or scientific or academic source. If not, I hunt for the sources on that source and then click that. Eventually I enhancement down to a paper or something that I read myself and is usually what I actually need to inform myself. Even if I don't specifically understand all the figures, I can carefully read what the authors are conveying and see what they're actually trying to say better than most of the articles by "bloggers" that got me to it in the first place.
If you regularly read any scientific news or economics news articles on the internet, it will drive you to the brink of insanity how much "rephrase wikipedia basic definition" word count padding bullshit you see.
In fact often you will spot blatant falsehoods that you genuinely already know are wrong and betrays the author's utter lack of specific knowledge on the subject.
There are some shining examples even amongst free publications, such as Quanta Magazine for scientific news.
When I read a publication like The Economist, it is clear that the authors usually at least basically know their shit. I don't see too many stilted takes. They don't just blog summaries of some new papers, they will write a broader survey of rich topics that help you gain some basic understanding and set yourself up to do further research on your own with a solid relative foundation.
If you can get talented writers with actual knowledge of the subjects you're hoping to cover, the business model doesn't really matter. -

2021-03-11 at 3:32 PM UTC in Islam is demonic- Women are subservient to men and their inherent emotional irrationality is canonically recognized.
- Women belong at home to clean up, cook, take care of the kids and provide sexual comfort
- Faggots are tossed off a roof.
- Sexual promiscuity and infidelity are forbidden upon penalty of death by stoning.
- Slaves are allowed.
- Expansionist, imposes itself upon others who don't believe.
- Community oriented, prevents followers from falling into social isolation and developing antisocial tendencies
- Easier to launch Holy Wars
- 72 Soibois in heaven
- Àlpha Muhammad is a way better role model for modern youth but Jesus is also incorporated as a prophet so that betas are recognized for their place and value in society rather than rejected, and taught the valuable lesson that if you can't clap back, you can still be strong by turning the the other cheek and not crying or getting KTFO when you get clapped twice.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by BeeReBuddy Imagine how much time it felt like growing up from Kindergarten all the way to graduating high school.
Time has felt much faster these last 13 years compared to those 13 years in school.
This time 13 years ago I was so excited at the prospect of becoming an adult.
Knowing very soon I was to take off and go be something.
Had I known how these last 13 years were to turn out way back when I would probably have hung myself.
I am glad things finally got better but I did a lot of damage and for a long long time it all really sucked.
I wonder what life will be like in 13 more years.
My hopes are that in 13 more years I will find myself happy.
With a good paying job of sorts maybe even working from home.
I'd like to see myself in a sweet house with a stupid amount of toys.
Pretty much what I have know except on a grander scale with no debt.
It just gets worse. -

Originally posted by aldra liberal and conservative are like sports teams, people latch on to one or the other because it sort of suits their ideology - sure you have to toe the line on some retarded shit you don't care about but otherwise you're stuck with the 20 or so anarcho-primitivists or technocratic-communists you actually do align with and have no political capital whatsoever
DIY bombing campaigns is all the political capital you need. Be the change. -
