After years of neglect, an overreliance on programmatic advertising, and predation by private equity firms, the industry is but a desiccated husk of its former self, crawling toward death with nothing and no one but The Onion to save it.
I was just talking about how my old Journo teacher would be rolling over in his grave at the sight of the news media today. Though an ending projected since internet became a household name and since I think at least just prior to 9/11. All the same like bugs into the light of the zapper they go.
I commit to a few clicks every day, clicks I might otherwise spend on a fruitless Wordle guess. I want to ensure the quality journalism of The Onion remains for my kids, and their kids after. If you install this special plugin (not a virus 🤞) then every click you do is automatically doubled.
Fully support this etc etc but please, could you not use the word "dumb" to mean "stupid". I mean, ideally avoid calling people stupid at all but definitely do not use words which were coined to describe a disability to call people stupid.
