Paying for Web Content

2017-08-05

It has been evident that the monetization of web sites has really become a priority. We have newspapers which are so crappy that they are losing delivered circulation to the point that hitting a page prompts you to buy a subscription to their web site.

Those yellow journalisn bastions seem to be the most adamant about it ... and I'm okay to go elsewhere. Once upon a time ad revenue was supposed to suffice to pay for your presence on the web but it seems that the quality has degraded to the point that McClatchy and others must resort to holding their readership hostage.

It would be a different matter if every story weren't slanted to present what can only be called op/ed pieces regardless of the subject matter. Some outlets simply cannot get by the fact that they aren't supposed to express their hirstute purple loving opinion in absolutely everything published within their purview.

Alas, objective reporting has gone the way of CNN and it's manufactured content designed to mould your opinions for you seeing how you're incapable of forming your own with a set of objective facts ... which you'll never get from them.

So you think I'm going to pay for your evangelizing manipulative drivel ?

Think again ...
