The cost of content
Summary
Australia is kind of leading the charge in saying that Facebook and Google should start to pay for some of the media content, some of the news that they’re posting on their platforms. But I think as you go deeper into the issue, this idea that that the platform is also going to run the news at the same time, I find that even scarier, But you know, but it’s interesting that you brought that up, because that’s already happening in other areas. And if you look at some of the systemic issues that we have around racism and some of these other areas, it stems partly from the sharing of information over however many years, does the New York Times have a great brand? Or are they still following the same things that they used to do back in the day when they when there was a certain ethics and a certain fact checking responsibility that they had, but it was all run by primarily white, Anglo Saxon kinds of people? And these big organizations, they want to make money and they want to fill their coffers with information and deliver it out so that they can continue to sell the ad revenue and do all the things that they need to do, which is not unlike the way it was before.
