I think where I differ from many media consumers is that I seek out content that doesn't just tell me what I already know or confirm my priors. I gravitate to media that forces me to learn new things & challenges my assumptions - and I increasingly try to do reporting that does that, which I realize pisses off the very loud & vocal please-just-confirm-my-priors crowd that's disproportionately represented in online comment threads etc.

I'm not making a judgment on what's better or worse here. But just on a really personal level, I'm genuinely bored with confirm-my-priors media even if it's more monetizeable, and I've gradually divested myself from it & am not interested in producing it. I'm more interested in exploring uncomfortable questions that I don't know the answers to (see the latest episode of our podcast Lever Time). My guess is a lot of people are silently doing the same.
