Maybe because it isn't quality journalism. Ultimately, something is worth what people are willing to pay for.

It's just as dark a place with "quality journalism".

You sound rather pessimistic.

My comment wasn't meant to apply to a specific website/newspaper per se, but the general state of online news media. Surely you believe someone or some publication somewhere is performing quality journalism.

So, in your opinion, what is quality journalism?

Just because something is profitable doesn't mean it is quality. Clickbait titles bring in ad dollars, but no one argues they result in a better article/story.
