RE: Univision journalist Jorge Ramos: "Neutrality Is Not An Option" For Journalists With Donald Trump
Journalism is shit in part b/c shit makes more money. A system like Steem replaces ad based revenue with voting based revenue.
This is supposed to incentivise higher quality content instead of click bait.
