    Welcome to journalism in 2023. You don’t write anything out of passion anymore, you’re just filling your weekly quota with random words

        I don’t expect quality from them, that’s why I don’t really pay attention to corporate journalism. I get most of this kind of information from individual creators, and I do support those when I can

          Good for you, and I’m impressed by your undefensive and unhuffy reply.

          Because the amount of entitlement I see about professional journalism really pisses me off, personally. There is a reason that much (not all) journalism is not the quality it used to be. It’s because nobody is frigging paying for it any more. Journalists are not the perpetrators in this story, they are the victims. The internet has caused their profession to implode. It’s their jobs that have disappeared on a huge scale, their salaries that have shrunk, their career choice that turned out to be a catastrophic bad move. All because of a technical innovation, basically. Well, personally I think we may come to regret the demise of this profession which served society well for at least a century. But the least we can do is stop the victim-blaming.

          Rant over. No, I am not a journalist. Very glad of that career choice.
