They went all in on clickbait cuz that’s the only way to make money but their competition is buzzfeed lol.

Let’s hope crypto and minting articles and built in censorship resistance brings real journalism back.

disagree if you look at it from a longterm POV

optimizing for clicks = short term ad revenue =/= quality + long term trust

decline in trust + quality -> decline in readership -> decrease in revenue -> cost cutting (layoffs)

+ social media clicks are vulnerable to algo changes -> unpredictable traffic -> revenue loss

optimizing for clickbait, unless your brand and platform is anchored in memes and virality and 15-minute trends, is ngmi imo. see below
