Why magazine mogul Tina Brown
is ‘angry and upset’ at Google and Facebook
.......................................................................................................................................................................
Because they're playing three D chess and she has problems with Checkers?
or maybe she can't even do tic-tac-toe?
- “I am very angry and upset about the way advertising revenue has been essentially pirated by the Facebook-Google world, without nearly enough giveback — no giveback, really — to the people who create those brilliant pieces that are posted all over their platforms,” Brown said. “It’s high time they gave back to journalism.”
the same refrain has been wailed thru out history.
"I'm so upset about those new fangled car things...how can I sell my buggy whips"?
"I'm so upset about those new fingled loom things...how can I sell my knitting?"
and so it goes.
- “They have no interest, I realize that,” Brown said. “It’s like, ‘Oh, we’re not a media company, we’re a platform.’ Okay, well, guess what? When you don’t have human beings who have judgment, who have taste, who have a sense of responsibility, you can have any old Russian hacker dishing it out to the American public.”
.
“Opinion-forming, influential content, it’s very hard to find and support and have an impact with,” she added. “People don’t know what’s important or where to find it. So it doesn’t wash to say, ‘There’s so many transactions, everybody can find it.’ It’s a needle in a haystack for so many people.”
because the average person is dumb...and she thinks she smart. Therefore she'd justified in telling the Average guy what to think. Someone invented the internet (it wasn't Al Gore)...and search engines...while she wasn't looking.
Now she's pissed off.
If her advertisements didn't treat people like they were stupid, she'd make more money off of them. If they were any good, google would pay her what she thinks she's worth.
I've never heard of her before.
BUT
What an idea!!!
