The majority of media outlets rely on advertising and therefor you get horrible incentives with pretty predictable results.

The Intercept is different. There are no ads and their goal is to be user funded. Whether it'll work out remains to be seen, but at least they don't have the horrible incentives. And I hope that quality journalism will the the reason that people are (finally) willing to pay for news.

He's also fatalistic in portraying that there is nothing we can do about it. And then mentions an example using another (near) monopolist: AWS.

I've send several emails to The Intercept asking them for a presence on FOSS platforms/fediverse, but they still haven't. They're only (afaik) on Twitter/FB/Instagram/YT, thereby contributing to the very problem he's now complaining about.

No, Mark, it’s not that “complex.” Let me simplify (again): you and Facebook take money from politicians and run their ads — even if they’re not true — without fact-checking them. That’s not democracy, that’s you profiting off propaganda. #siliconsix
