Salon is next which I'm not too upset about

http://www.salon.com/2017/07/20/blame-donald-trump-for

I'm WAY far from a trump person, but I would assume everything salon has written in the last 18 months was just this url + something new

Haha probably true

The right’s collapse into asymptotic nihilism is also the primary reason why conservatives and libertarians have proven so ineffective at repelling the advance of the neofascist alternative right, a movement that is in the process of replacing the conventional far right.

You know the writer keeps reading that while masturbating.

Unfortunately retards will take this as validation their political beliefs are correct, rather than an indication that this business model of free online publishing has no hope and is completely fucked.

then that means the independent is next. /u/maxwellhill what ever will you post to /r/worldnews then?!

rather than an indication that this business model of free online publishing has no hope and is completely fucked.

However it happens, the sooner we can get rid of all the losers who think it's their god-given right to spew their ignorant opinions online the world will be a better place.

The self-publishers, the yougoobers, the "social media influencers", "independent contributors" to what once were reasonably respectable media ---- most of current online social and regular media is in a state of crisis.

He said on /r/drama

So much value will be lost with these closures.

I'm actually sad about this. Back in the late 90s, Salon.com was a pioneer of good internet journalism, and not the garbage clickbait site it's become.

Is it racist to call Bill Cosby a rapist? Or is it rape apologia to doubt his guilt? Salon investigates.

Fucking lol.

Salon was around in the 90's? And here I got all my news from geocities!

Was Monica Lewinsky a Russian plant?

Top Kek.

Ok but when is the NY Post gonna fail?

The New York Post is entertaining, unlike Heat Street, Salon, Buzzfeed, or any of these other hack fly-by-night operations.

Hmmm...but where oh where will we get our garbage conservative bullshit now? I guess that type of thing is gone from the internet forever.

Hmmm...but where oh where will we get our garbage conservative bullshit now?

They can't close down /r/drama

/r/Drama is a centrist sub.

Uh excuse me we are extremely liberal here. That's why we have gay parrots

Neutral af, you cocksucking piece of shit.

/r/drama is a bastion of left-right shitflinging.

Hmmm...but where oh where will we get our garbage conservative bullshit now?

We still have Breitbart, guys, clam down.

Please God end internet journalism ASAP

I want to go back to the HTML 2.0 days at least

Only allowing command line access with obscure weird commands by verified adults who have passed some tests to demonstrate competency in common life issues is the only way to save it all now.

BBS only prz

Only allowing command line access with obscure weird commands by verified adults who have passed some tests to demonstrate competency in common life issues is the only way to save it all now.

You're still falling short on exclusionary variables. I'm an adult with competency in common life issues and every bit of my competency tells me that people like me should never be put in charge of anything unless it is an absolute emergency and no one else is available.

I wasn't suggesting that you should be part of being in charge of anything important. Being able to use the command line is still an important skill, and don't sell yourself short.

My point is, and was, that every idiot who can touch an icon on a screen and then start spouting complete horseshit opinions, straight up lies, wrong information and be a hobbyist troll SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ACCESS TO THE INTERNET.

There are many governmental, ISP-level and technological levels in which this could be implementted, and I believe we are getting to a place where it is time to implement some further measures to keep people whose opinion isn't educated and informed and thought out enough from influencing real life policy for vast majorities.

Letting any Tom, Dick Joe, Harry Sally or whoever type into twitter and it turn out to be a big deal in the lives of other people is becoming a bigger and bigger problem and steps are being taking, and more major steps are going to have to be taken to fix this growing problem.

There are two major steps that I see as a positive step forward, and those are removal of anonymity on the internet for the casual public and compartmentalization of the internet into tiers for age/maturity accessibility.

My point is, and was, that every idiot who can touch an icon on a screen and then start spouting complete horseshit opinions, straight up lies, wrong information and/or thinks it's funny to be a hobbyist troll SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ACCESS TO THE INTERNET.

Sorry, but that sounds like a terrible idea, especially where this sub is concerned.

This just comes across as extremely short sighted and narcissistic. All you're saying is that the internet should censor shit to your liking and then framing it as if it's the solution to some information crisis instead of short sighted masturbation.

All you're saying is that the internet should censor shit to your liking

I can see how it could be perceived that way, but I have too much experience to see it any other way, and yes I do mean it that way.

I know that there is a whole host of logistical, social and philosophical issues with my point, but I stand by it.

There are plenty of things that I don't agree with that I don't think should be "censored". I agree with CONSTITUTIONAL FREE SPEECH which is much different than most children's idea of free speech on the internet

And I certainly don't think people should be killed for differing opinions. It's just that too many children (mentally or legally) are being allowed to spend too much time "on the internet" and a generational crisis is brewing in regards to elders not taking care of the younger crowds.

I agree people and kids spend too much time on the internet but you did not present a solution to that, you presented a solution to the quality of internet content with you as sole arbiter of what is and isn't mature and intelligent. Beyond that you can't seriously think saying "there's tons of problems with my idea but I like it" and going on your way believing it is a sign of maturity or intelligence. I can't believe anyone with even a modicum of real world experience would think what you think, especially when it comes to the practically and results of any attempt at moderating all internet content by maturity and intelligence level, like I'm serious thats a fucking retarded thing to think.

you did not present a solution to that

Removal of anonymity Tests for access (like a drivers license)

Are my best solutions yet.

I just said, those don't change how much time people spend on the web or parents using it as as a parenting tool they just change the type of content. If there is a reading comprehension part of your test then you should probably get ready to say bye bye internet if your system ever comes pass.

Time does not equal quality, and I'm assuming that your proportions have flown the coop at this point.

No pajeets when?

I'd rather go back to the gopher and Usenet days.

Certainly, the days when MUDs were king.

what if the difficulty of media outlets to support themselves means that "internet journalism" switches to a content creator system where independent "journalists" produce content in exchange for patreon bux?

This sounds like a recipe for ethics in journalism.

And nothing of value was lost

And yet buzzfeed still exists😭

Buzzfeed News does insanely good work tho. Also they fund their news with their clickbait stuff.

No its not. Stop pushing this narrative.

no u

Fuck you, ill push any narrative i want. You can't tell me what to do.

*though

If you care about having your opinion considered, type whole words in proper syntax and spelling.

If you don't care, then carry on typing like a moron.

"The ice cream buried underneath this pile of manure is delicious, I swear!"

the world needs to know which hogwarts house theyd belong to, and they need to know it based on their ice cream preferences

based on their ice cream preferences

Bill Nye the Sex Junk Guy told me that ice cream doesn't have preferences.

                                                               

                                                               

b-b-b-but I liked heat street. 😢

This site always makes my mom tear up and cry. I never understood why and always felt like it had to do something with me. She told me when I was three that I had cancer but I knew that already. But she went on to say that about a week before Christmas it started to get worse and they didn't think I would make it. So she decide to go out and get me a little green bear that I saw and always wanted. I started to get better about 3 weeks later. But she said when she heard this song, she just thought of that December and the miracle that I'm alive today. 13 years cancer free

I'm not so sure.

also b8 out.

Weird pasta man.

personally im not big on this article but for a good reason, last year my mom needed a 2nd heart bypass surgery, this time it was a triple, we almost lost her and this article keeps reminding me of us almost losing her, (she also had a pulmonary embolism and arrithmia, scared the hell outa me), fortunately we still have her. this stuff is not easy to read when im at work(cashier)
