Write Your Own Anti-Online Advertising Article
from the it's-just-that-easy dept
Here's an article complaining about the sudden overload in articles that say the online advertising world is going down the drain. The main complaint of the writer is that all of these articles sound exactly the same, so he provides a template if you want to write your own article. While it's somewhat amusing, it does point out a huge problem that I often see in news coverage of tech issues. A certain viewpoint becomes popular, and every news organization writes more or less the same article, and suddenly, perception becomes reality.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
