I think we are in a transitional period of journalism which is why it is so crazy right now.

Old type publications are competing with clickbait and a million other attention grabbing things online, and have to go down that route as well. The more outrageous the better. That incentive doesn't create good journalism.

In the meantime the market is correcting with things like substack, thank god people like Matt Taibbi and a few others can actually do quality journalism there. Something like substack I think will eventually win out in the quality journalism market.

But it takes time. A lot of people still believe big name publications like the NYT are where quality information comes from. It takes time for markets to change.
