The future of journalism is free — not subscriptions. Why make the best information *less* popular?
-
Yes — I agree, everyone wants the truth. And most publishers mean well. But selling a subscription and serving the truth are divergent goals. And even if you do a great job, you’re forced to artificially limit the impact your work can have in order to charge for it.
This is why I think there will always be free and paid. Ex: NYT is paid. But when they make stuff, all the free people cite them.

I like ideamarkets but perhaps they have similar chinks to liquid democracy, in that there's a high cognitive cost to verifying the truth and people just find it cheaper to delegate their sense/decision making to a credentialed person i.e NYT
-
Thank you! People are still expected to delegate to leaders! Ideamarket adds a mechanism for keeping those leaders accountable, which we don’t have today. You don’t need to invest in order to benefit
