@BenMullin @katie_robertson Love that there is a small/profitable business model currently working for news commentary and punditry, but when the local papers that report a lot of the news these folks comment on (and often add color to) disappear, we're all still in the same dystopian problem zone.

[Neha Gandhi @nehaintown]

@BenMullin @katie_robertson Great reporting as always, but the thing that frustrates me about these "future of news" stories is that most of these outlets don't actually employ the newsrooms and bureaus that you need to responsibly report the news (there are a few exceptions in the mix of course).

I guess sometimes cricket-loving poets make Machiavellian moves, too.

@clhubes My child has had this same 4p-8a malady as well, since Friday! The plot thickens…

@jakemcgraw Which feels like the thinking that got us here, in part…

[Neha Gandhi @nehaintown]

Is anyone else reading Ben Smith’s Traffic?

[Neha Gandhi @nehaintown]

@jakemcgraw I can’t remember which episode but there is a first season interview in Masters of Scale where the guests says every founder should always raise as much as they can at any given moment no matter what your business actually needs.

[Neha Gandhi @nehaintown]

@jakemcgraw But the VC money without a plan for venture returns (outside of free referral traffic at scale forever) does still feel so silly.

[Neha Gandhi @nehaintown]

@jakemcgraw Will listen! Although I’m frustrated because I’m 2.5 chapters into the HuffPost era without any acknowledgement of the fact that “aggregation” isn’t the same as what Drudge did. It’s theft. It’s the workaround that trained the consumer to believe content isn’t worth paying for.

@Drrramina In the name of diversity, of course

[Neha Gandhi @nehaintown]

@Drrramina My money’s on 50-60something men, 30something women…

[Neha Gandhi @nehaintown]

@moorehn Exactly this. Was my first thought when I saw the news.

As AI is getting better, autocorrect is somehow getting worse, no?

@KSarah999 @PatMaginnis1928 @theillustrious @pronounced_ing Intrigued! Will add it to the pile!

[Neha Gandhi @nehaintown]

Feels like 2015’s “how do we pivot away from Facebook dependence to game SEO” panic all over again. But this time, without even a distribution strategy in mind…

[Heidi N. Moore @moorehn]

I have seen this strategy before -- and experienced it personally -- and it always fails.

Going to all-caps this: MORE STORIES DO NOT GENERATE MORE TRAFFIC.

FEWER, BETTER STORIES GENERATE MORE TRAFFIC.
