The pageview beast

MG Siegler:

Most are stories written with little or no research done. They’re written as quickly as possible. The faster the better. Most are just rehashing information that spread by some other means. But that’s great, it means stories can be written without any burden beyond the writer having to read a little bit and type words fast. Many are written without the writer even having to think.

I am glad that I don’t make my money based on pageviews. I say what I want, when I want because I believe it to be true. That’s it.

    I appreciate that, which is why I follow your tweets and selected others’ if they seem to have similar levels of integrity to yours, and I occasionally consider their words.

    Although I like some of Siegler’s stuff, he still shows a pretty amazing lack of self-awareness.
