@vortex_egg Thinking some more on this ...

... the notion of a market in which quality tiers are served based on bids based on perceived benefit and costs of provisioning might be one approach. Details naturally remain to be worked out.

But in the "clickbait" tier, if a GPT-3 ML/AI would be sufficient to supply a steady stream of memes, with sufficiently low negative social externalities, the profit motive for entering into the niche would remain quite low.

In-depth investigative journalism would be bid within a distinct an separate marketplace, sufficient to cover costs of production and maintenance.
