This sort of thing is why Canadian media wanted a cut of big tech profits. Imagine how harmful this is to websites that need to grow audiences, particularly news websites

Most news websites have a ton of duplicated content. That info overload is dying to be minimized.

And news orgs are going to keep coming under assault cause they perform a similar function to search engine robots by surfacing new info. As soon as some one copies that info, the value of the info is 0.

There is already data saying most content created is never consumed by anyone just cause of how much copying and duplication happens.

What is a good example of a Canadian news organization website that is not overwhelmingly populated by headlines and stories that are:

- clickbait

- hyperbolic

- gossip

- propaganda

- unoriginal

- unimportant

Great question. Going to assume you mean English language and share my own findings:

- CBC: Propagandic, unoriginal, unimportant

- Global News: Clickbait, gossip, unoriginal, unimportant

- Toronto Star: Hyperbolic, propagandic

- The Globe and Mail: Unoriginal, unimportant

- The National Post / Postmedia network: Hyperbolic, propagandic

- CTV News: Clickbait, gossip, unoriginal, unimportant

Anything I missed?

I have found the best strategy is to take the sum of multiple sources to get a slightly less awful whole.
