Re: Death knell for quality content?

As always, you write for your intended audience. And I'm not
criticizing Bell; if his assumptions about his readers are correct,
he is providing the advertisers he needs with the readers they
want, and is not insulting our intelligence by making unsupportable
claims about the quality of his site's content.  It's actually rather
refreshing to see a CEO admit that he's not making any effort to
produce a product or service that is any better than it has to be.
