      Look, I think there are great points on both sides. But this writer is 100% WRONG about this, which to me, shows they don't really understand what's going on. Source: I own(ed) or been part of multiple clickbait sites that make MILLIONS. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/n7w3zw/silicon-valley-elite-discuss-journalists-having-too-much-power-in-private-app …pic.twitter.com/rphbUKZNFP

      The author, @jason_koebler, is just wrong here. Because of that, it impacts the rest of the article as 1 main premise is that the press writes outrageous stuff for clicks. Here's a screenshot of 1 of those sites. If you knew the URL, you'd agree it's clickbait.pic.twitter.com/HSNyZV7ppr

      Many of these make 8-9 figures a year. So, to say "In 2020, the idea that fishing for “clicks” to drive ad revenue is a successful or even common business model is a fallacy." -- it's factually WRONG and tries to ruin @balaji's argument.

      We wrote about this. This article is wrong. But I can tell you for a fact, this website we makes 7 figures a year in profit. I'm almost positive that's more profit than @VICENews.https://thehustle.co/how-to-build-a-multimillion-dollar-company-in-12-months …

      Additionally, many of these sites may say they do do investigative journalism. Example. Here's the WEEKLY revenue one of those sites. If you ask them, they're doing great work. I'd bet you $1,000 you'd call it clickbait.pic.twitter.com/quwiiM82XL

      This particular company makes over $1 billion a year in revenue, a lot of it from ads. I promise you: you would call them clickbait. They may call themselves journalists. My point: I'm not saying you or @balajis are right/wrong. But clickbait makes $$$.

      Replying to @theSamParr @balajis

      Your claim is that you have journalists who say they make clickbait for a living? Hate to break it to you... those aren't journalists.
