Why does this article pretend that we collectively made a decision to punish professors and not that the effect of supply and demand in a free market is the cause?
Of course, it ascribes malicious intent for all of them, too.
I think the paragraph about journalism was probably the most pertinent. No-one decided to relabel journalism as "content" to be produced by designated "content providers". Pre-internet only journalists had a way of publishing their opinions. Post-internet everyone does. The simple law of supply and demand means that opinions are less valuable now.
