It's not only sports writing. Basically it is economy 4.0 where companies try to benefit from their customers work.
The customer does the work and a platform earns the money. They only provide an infrastructure.
This can be found in almost any economy but especially in heavily content driven endeavors.
As if limbic capitalism wasn't enough already. Future looks dull and probably will lead to another dark ages as good content will be hard to filter and hard to access. Quality will be limited to the upper class.
It's resulting in a form of addictive and psychological slavery. Somehow they don't provide services for customers but make them hook on something and then milking them.
It's gross.
Good points. In the big picture however don't you have to consider the explosive growth of FREE content that we the public now benefit from?
The effort that went into real hard work news, reporting and writing now has to compete in pool of free content and hope that the public can recognize the difference and is willing to pay something for it.
