Odd how they didn't just put that in the title.

Guessing it was a force copy title for the sub and the article wanted you to click. They put it in the body of the post at least.

Off topic: the onion needs to resume making videos again. Their "news" videos were amazing and most of them are still relevant today even though most of them are 12 years old. Also sex house was hilarious. Please bring these gems back 🙏

They have literally recently done so. Just news for now though.

What's odd is that it's not in the Wired headline either, this is a direct copy of their headline.

Because zero-click internet kills the revenue model. It's unfortunate, but understandable until something better comes along.

Would love to see a co-op model spring up where views on sites like Lemmy generate revenue for publications without the click. I.E. pay $1 a month to a shared fund that's distributed by percentage.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That would require us to pay for Lemmy, right? Or how do you mean? Where would the money come from, sort of?

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 1 month ago

Yup. Or perhaps pay into features, like full-page content inside the post. I.e. offset the revenue of the click. Oddly enough, that model would replace ads, too.
