CUSTOMERS: please don't print lies in the newspaper we sort of hate that.

NEWSPAPER: good news! we replaced half our staff with a machine that automatically prints lies in the newspaper.

@Lana I wonder how the NYT is faring after becoming the official IDF's PR

@Lana I tend to look at WaPo through an old, old Chromebook - one that I don't mind spilling coffee on. It is a slow machine and, as such, it reveals slow websites in their full glory.

WaPo's website is so filled with 3rd party tracking/advertising dependencies and javascript that re-arranges the pages that one has to wait the better part of a minute for a click to fully render to a new page. The javascript re-arranging is done so late in the process that one often clicks on a link only to discover that the link was changed underneath the mouse pointer.

In other words, a good part of WaPo's problems are perhaps self inflicted.

@karlauerbach @Lana

That's hysterical. That's also sad.

@Lana I think the #WaPo deserves to die if they don't provide #AddedValue but instead do #shitposting with "#AI"...
@kkarhan @Lana Any billionaires' newspaper deserves to die for spreading their unreigned capitalistic ideology.

@Lana

What the hell

journalists, y'all have one job

@Lana buried lede: 'also we think we could spend our way to profitability if we wanted to.'
@Lana
The concept of a Newspaper with a strict subscribers based profit system is outdated.
I would never ever buy a monthly subscrition. I would accept to pay per article or give what I thinl via patreon.
Pay per read is the future. I read single articles from netzpolitik volksverpetzer, guardian, correctiv, krautreporter, taz, SZ, 20mins etc.
Every day I receive mails from papers that have the same antique structure / bosses who dont understand how the internet works. Leave me alone!
