There is a reason why we don’t have any VC investments in the media, or for that matter, in the content creation on the internet. The reason is because Google and FB monopolized search, advertising, and more importantly, surveillance of individuals. So, the website that caters clinical information to doctors competes with Candy Crush, because doctors get served relevant ads on games, etc.

In the early days of internet, we had plethora of new media networks. No more. The same with science websites, smart websites for children, hobby websites, etc etc. Big tech is killing content on the internet, and instead we have fake news controversies and privacy scandals.

This is very serious stuff for society and democracy and knowledge.

Edit. Think about it: Google and FB have 80% share of the ad market, and they actually don’t create the content. The rest 20% goes to all the publishers from the entire world.
