Fake news became spam and was ridden of or was it? Only obvious clickbait is gone, now we have moved into a society of hate news. People are reporting on issues with partisan reporting and our journalists are being activists. Hate related and controversial news is much easier to get views, trend, and monetize content. Buzzfeed and other leftist media outlets have been suffering. Buzzfeed even started selling branded cookware at walmart. It’s becoming more and more outrageous. I don’t know what the next phase will look like, but I’m concerned at the very least.

The problem is that people tend to believe fake news and seek sensational stuff everywhere.
Yeah it's really too bad
The next step scares me, but is that not freedom and human nature? At least we don’t kill each other...... as much any more 😅

That's fair. A culture war can be more damaging though if we slowly overpopulate while being mass manipulated
True dat, I have faith the masses will wake to the manipulation soon enough.

Its all about "Divide and Conquer," I believe more people are abandoning establishment media for alternate media, or at the very least beginning to look for it. They will all go the way of Myspace. I agree with the breakdown.
Thanks and yeah I feel alternate media will really climb over the next few years given it survives censoring

Absolutely, but in the long term it's better not to make short term sacrifices for financial gain. Depends what you mean by "business." Making money or being successful
In my deepest places... I was kinda making fun of all those who use... “business” as an excuse for their behavior

I think the idea of pandering to your audience is true. The thing is these companies should actually be neutral unless they specifically state that they are simply commentators. There should be a c-span like program just for news. You get the raw info, not how people interpret it.
Yeah exactly, that would solve a lot
