I would like to see the end of advertising as funding for news media. It creates malign incentives and pollutes the psychosphere. A better model is a combination of state funding and something like Patreon or The Guardian: optional subscription, open distribution. In addition any platform that makes money from displaying/redistributing other news media (Google, Facebook) should pay for it.

“We made a mistake by accepting advertising as a revenue model on the internet. We made another mistake by forgetting that other models existed, once prices started crashing. Now, the people who are making the decisions are too sick and tired to see a way out because they are hamstrung by the system they created, and the people who need out the most can’t afford to take a break.”
