This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

A growing number of americans don't read newspapers. They get their news from online influencers. The right dominates the online ecosystem. (lemmy.world)

They get funding, that much is obvious. It was the same story with the Nazis who got massive support from obvious sources.

Yep. "influencers" make their content free. Big newspapers with national reach just refuse to be read online, they want subscriptions.

There's some good community papers but they don't get much reach because the Internet doesn't necessarily show you local stuff
