“No Alarm, No Notifications to my phone… literally nothing happened just found it like this…” wrote Cybertruck owner Anuj Thakker, who shared the upsetting news on Facebook a few days ago.
Imagine if you subscribed to a YouTuber and they had good content. You subscribe to their patreon. At some point later, they take on a bunch of sponsorships, and eventually they just become a corporate mouthpiece for their sponsors. Then their entire channel just gets bought by the corporation and is ran as a corporate social media account. At what point would you cancel your Patreon subscription? Would you say that refusing to pay that YouTuber for their videos means that you have a part to play in the process whereby they ultimately ended up as a corporate social media account?
Because that is ultimately what happened with the media, in my opinion.

I think you have a conclusion that you’re arguing towards rather than letting observations draw you to a conclusion. Here’s a link to an article you might find interesting - https://archive.org/details/sim_columbia-journalism-review_july-august-1998_37_2/page/n29/mode/2up
The media sold out loooong before the Internet took off. They’re entirely to blame for the position that they’re in. And they’re, at least partially, to blame for the state of modern society.
