Speaking of which, I don't have a subscription and I think they paywall these things. Does anyone have a summary so we can figure out why it's on the front page?
Thank you for the reminder.
We have to remember that often, articles of "information" present themselves as such, when in reality, they're intentionally manipulative (in terms of misleading titles, etc.) simply to profit from human behavior (manipulates attention -> clicking). Sad that this is what the news & media industry has devolved into.
They are driven by their own needs for people to click. Not needs to share accurate or new information... but rather, they must simply do enough to keep their lights on, regardless of presence of merit.
I guess this means good journalism will stand out much easier now because we are so used to click-bait that good writing should really stand out now. When everything is indexed and searchable human curation becomes even more important and good journalists can start filling this role if they are an expert in some domain.
You are painfully uninformed as to how journalism works. Yes, there are publications -- Buzzfeed, Vice, etc. -- that feed on clickbait, but many are still doing important work. The Facebook story might look hark on the "same theme" but the fact a polarizing figure like MZ still fully controls a problematic product is still worth reporting on. It's about accountability.
The truthiness of these alleged conflict in closed rooms is probably impossible to know.
The difference, if there is one, is that dissenters are not by and large absent from the board (except marca). But this doesn't really affect his level of control of Facebook.
