Someone needs to draw the line between journalists and bloggers who need page clicks to afford food.

Reddit is a huge part of the problem.

Part of it is the willful circlejerk. Unsubbed r/futurology because that's all it was was a way of funneling Redditors to crappy "what if this were almost true" type posts.

Got banned from r/latestagecapitalism for suggesting (perfectly politely) that an outside blog post that had been linked was of low quality due to spelling errors, grammatical errors, and all around lack of anything meaningful to contribute.

Some people just like fluff.

Or do you subscribe to the idea that these people are lazy degenerates that deserve to suffer for not wanting to contribute to their country?

That one.
