Am curious as to what others think about the shift of news on the internet, from printed articles, to videos... (usually preceeded by a 30 second video commercial.)
Also... the increased use of popunder sound.
Is the internet turning into a dumbed down propaganda machine?
...or is this too harsh?
I feel increasingly frustrated by seeing what appears to be an interesting headline... then going for more information, only to be faced with a commercial, and then finding out that the video clip was something I was not interested in.
I long for articles I can scan and dismiss if it's not what I expected. Could it be that this is the new America? Designed for people who cannot read?
Whaddya think?
