Is everyone just using AI and not proof reading? I see this a lot lately. Even Tom’s Guide has bad editing, a good example is this article: https://www.tomsguide.com/news/pixel-8

Most notably, the display looks set to shrink from 6.3 inches to 5.8 inches

Then

The Pixel 8’s screen is rumored to measure 6.17 inches, down from 6.31 inches.

It’s like they’re just grabbing from other articles and cramming together or adding content to old news now vs analyzing and forming opinions. With all the LMG drama lately, I had hoped written news would take note. Maybe I’m just too picky.

    No wonder there’s a media crisis that affects all serious medias, the way they traditionally did there job would lead to their death today.

    This we can agree on. But the point isn’t so much why, I can’t do much more than pay what I always did for the BBC. It’s more just the annoyance that what used to be a great institution (some will argue) has been run into the ground this way.

    It’s probably the same with the degradation of most services now. The race to the bottom is the result of the average person always buying the cheapest option.

    The full service airlines for short haul are mostly now offering the same services as low cost for example.

    It’s a strange time we live in, at least from my point of view.

      Well for media funded by the state we at least have the power to vote for parties that don’t want to defund them, so that’s that. For private media, well, they’ll always thrive to make more profit so yeah, race to the bottom 🤷
