I use advertisment as blacklist of what not to purchase. Now I do the same for news articles -- they're increasingly just product placement.

That is really dangerours - but sadly I see the point. It means that news are more and more acting on behalf of those who pay for the ads.
-
@simsa0 It's less about ads accompanying articles but that articles use topics to promote books, gadgets, stuff to buy.
-
@drak It's less about ads accompanying articles but that articles use topics to promote books, gadgets, stuff to buy.

@drak It's less about ads accompanying articles but that articles use topics to promote books, gadgets, stuff to buy, causes to support.
-
@drak ... to finacially support, that is.
-
@drak ... to financially support, that is.
-
@simsa0 a basic question is here: why does someone choose to write about something?
-
@drak Response--we write about what creates feedback for us. = special case of : We direct our attention to that which gives us feedback.
-
@drak This article elaborates it further http://is.gd/cr1SwG
-
@simsa0 that then is no problem to me: If people write to create something which others like they will provide me with info I want
-
@drak Take "feedback" to comprise money.
-
@simsa0 what the article describes is different: People writing what I read, getting money from elsewhere to steer my attention
-
@simsa0 problem: If someone writes just to satisfy my requirements (instead of an internal drive), he or she can’t do a good job: ur1.ca/cbb39
-
@simsa0 likes are similar to positive verbal feedback. Check the effect of that: draketo.de/light/english/motivation-and-payment

@drak I don't have the capacity right now to read the piece, but I bookmark it for later. Thanks.
-
@drak I don't think it's relevant whether the job is done well. It suffices to entice ppl to read the piece that aims at selling something.
-
@simsa0 np - I’d be glad to get your feedback on it!
-
@simsa0 If the job is done badly, I won’t read pieces from the author again (at least not after some bad experiences) → it matters
-
@drak My 1st feedback is here ;) http://linkbun.ch/01ydw (I don't know whether my 3 dents reached you as we're not subscribers)
-
@simsa0 I missed those 3 - thanks!
-
@simsa0 the key difference between intrinsic and extrinsic here is, whether people keep focus on what they do while they do it.
-
@simsa0 I believe that the studies I cite are solid: They are so old and well-spread that they would have been debunked otherwise
-
@drak does that mean ppl cannot dent each other unless they subscribe to each other? Ouch | cc @hannes2peer
-
@simsa0 I did get the dents from you before those 3 - dents normally contain metadata which states what the @<something> means.
-
@drak I don't doubt you or the studies. Given the distinction (& provided there is a clear & shared def of the terms) between intrinsic & >
-
@simsa0 (I need to go to bed right now - I’ll read your dents tomorrow)
-
@drak > extrinisc m, one may reach such conclusions. But : ex falso quotlibet :) I just look at these things from a diff angle.
-
@drak the dents before the 3 were replies to you. the 3 mentioned weren't. & I have no idea how your 1st dent 2 me could sneak into my TL ;)
-
@drak yep, me too. Dream well.
-
@simsa0 thanks! you too!

@simsa0 more thoughts on likes: Their problem is that they are quantifyable, so they likely act like money after some time…
