investigation eats away at their bottom line. conde nast helped feed that mentality - everything comes down to getting the most clicks with the least effort. but really it's been going on for a while now; all these indie publications that could thrive in the earlier years of the internet have succumbed to the pressure to stay afloat and publishing and that means no more obscure coverage, no more in-depth writing, no more thinking.

There is a lot to be said here about how this all relates to woke capitalism and the commercial takeover of the internet that I don’t think I could properly articulate with writing a long, long essay.
