It’s interesting how much money people in tech have and how trivial it seems to be raise such money.

Being a well informed citizen is like being vaccinated. It mostly helps other people and by extension, if most people are, it helps you too. Herd immunity against the mind virus. 

It's not revealed preference, it's the free rider problem. Where the shared resource is high quality journalism.
