@wdlindsy @SykesCharlie sorry about that, I was just reacting to the “Trump broke American journalism” quote, without having read the attached piece I reacted too fast in part because I am passionately convinced that we are not focusing enough on these damn algorithms that are the modern “opium” that is destroying our society. We should IMO just classify them as dangerous drugs and regulate them accordingly…

@wdlindsy @SykesCharlie Algorithms of engagement and social media broke journalism a long time ago by sucking all the attention and all the money away from journalism. We moved from a healthy intellectual diet to junk food for our brains. Trump is a consequence not the cause of that.
