==> The link tax proposal is going through the media again. Mike Masnick of Techdirt thinks it’s even worse than expected and must be stopped.
I very much agree, and I think it’s telling, regarding the quality of journalism nowadays, that the battlefield has moved on to fighting over who gets to monetize headlines pointing to content that’s too shitty for people to click through to.
For links people actually click on, the current situation is that it’ll take users to the publishers’ websites, where the publisher monetizes it through advertising. Nothing wrong with that.
But, following the press publishers’ argument, what’s apparently needed to adequately pay for all that quality journalism they’re doing is remuneration for headlines that nobody clicks on. Is anyone else having trouble following this argument, or am I the only one?
