Re: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
Wow, this sucks, but I had to see this for myself -- I guess somebody figured out, "Hey, if they only pay a thousandths of a thousandths of a cent in music streaming, why can't we copy this model, and apply it to journalism?"
But it's the perfect fit for an era of paying someone to click open an email, to review your work (Submittable), shelling out for all the costs for the work that you do (Lyft, Uber, and others like them), and so on, and so forth --- if this sticks, the race to the bottom just got a little bit deeper and nastier.

Re: The IMCT Media Criticism Thread
Its critical coverage of Altamont was alone within the media. And Hunter Thompson's work in the early 70s was massive. Generally speaking, while it was still based in San Fran, it was important. Once it moved to New York, it was aging Boomer celebrity lust.revbob wrote: ↑23 Jan 2021, 7:32pmUh fuck you Rolling Stone your magazine sucks anyway.
