It might be a little more tense than you think. There are a lot of real journalism criticism Etc trying to go Indy as well. Mostly in one Niche or another.
When it comes to a lot of scamming cryptocurrency and online things. One could argue people like coffeezilla are the better source to watch than a lot of other sites.
It’s only a matter of time until more people try it. Depending upon their success it could easily spell the end of sites like that. All someone has to do is prove another model viable. Imagine one of the staff from IGN splits taking along some of their contacts with them. And using that to get interviews and leveraging more contacts Etc .
It seems there may be a trend. And as you said there’s a lot of people who would gladly rather frequently site not as dense and slathered in s*** advertisements.
Kinda Funny did exactly that, and IGN still stands taller. But I think that just speaks to how many competitors can possibly follow that same model, because they’re driven by ad revenue and SEO.
For sure no one else is liable to beat them at that game. Long term it isn’t really sustainable for a large group of individuals. But the thing is the game has always changed and will continue to change.
The moment there’s a hiccup in the SEO and ad revenue. There’s a good chance the Psychopaths with the money. Who don’t understand or care what’s going on will come at them like they have everyone else. Either way it’s good to see a lot of these groups getting back to their roots and taking the reins for themselves again. It’s enough to warm and anarchist’s heart
