We appear to be standing our ground!
Not my preferred choice of source but NatPo has more detail than some of the alternatives I saw. It includes some numbers as well as comments about the difference between Meta’s and Google’s approaches. Hint: they’re not the same, so there’s already cracks in the effort to make an example out of Canada.
Do you think news just didn’t exist before Google/Meta?
I don’t like the change, but it’ll probably help maintain journalism quality
We used to pay for news papers to get the news, or listen to TV and the Radio with Ads and the CBC was well funded and respected.
I am not sure pumping more money in will help with that. I think some form of accountability for the style (Neutral and balanced) / facts / quality of corrections needs to be tied to money.
It’s not pumping more money so much as it is changing the mechanism of delivery. If you’re not dependent on click through rates and etc. you can afford less editorialized content
That’s a great fucking point - this status quo is driving the rage baiting to a different level!
