I actually think that part of it has to do with the fact that everyone is a content creator these days. I don't think many mainstream news outlets have actual writers on staff anymore, they farm it all out to creators with questionable credentials. My brother in law has a degree in journalism and used to work for a newspaper. I sometimes feel like what I am doing on Hive is an affront to him given I have zero formal education in writing. Of course there are all kinds of arguments against formal education, but I'll ignore all that for the sake of this comment! All that to say, the training and integrity has been lost I think.
