As someone who's seen a lot of journalists and honest news websites struggle to make money (one I frequent makes about $70 a month on Patreon at the most), seeing these scumbags making $40,000+ a month for rushed together articles about lies is just utterly depressing.

Makes you wonder what the point of actually doing researching or writing interesting stuff is nowadays. Why bother when actual work doesn't make money and flat out lying to people does?

But hey, I guess that's what the world wants now. Content that merely backs up their own beliefs, regardless of how true/accurate it actually is.
