Fool of Controversy
Plenty "professional" news sites offer pop-ups and banners. And instead of writing good quality content, they make it controversial. Welcome to the world of today - where good opinion does not matter.
But why doesn't it matter? It sure does, to you and me, but that is about it. These sites exist with the sole purpose of stockpiling profits. That means maximizing the number of hits. And it is done how? By people like me who link to them and trash their article.
And you know what else I hate? Those analysts who work hard enough just to provide a quote. Its not about saying something actually useful. Its about providing a quote. And you know very well how easily quotes get flipped off C|net.
From a non-expert. You know how much I hate those? There was a proposal to amend the zoning by-law to build an 8-story building (for old people) on my street. Imagine them celebrating a funeral every day - and if there is no funeral, the place would be exceptionally quiet.
Residents were encouraged to show up at a meeting and complain. But they were strictly warned not to talk about traffic consumption, drainage systems or stuff they had no clue about.
But perhaps this controversy and immense profits are a good thing. These "professionals" leave a gap for the independents - that includes me - to really shine. And I think I am doing it well.
