It's also a fantastic opportunity for advertisers. The other interesting thing is the journalistic standard, as you mentioned. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I was reading an interesting article the other day about the percentage of generic articles published online. I couldn't be stuffed finding it, but a foul majority of articles are all from the same source, because it's cheaper and easier. It wouldn't surprise me if this was becoming the case in print media as well. Yes, it’s a piece of trash that people read because there’s nothing else to do.
