How to trick the shareholders into thinking the site is successful

This is part of a bigger trend: the cheapening of the value of crowdsourcing. It’s now officially riding off the tracks.

I’m glad John C. Dvorak is catching up (maybe he will soon come to the realization that “crowdsourcing” is actually worthless?) — I could see this on the horizon over 10 years ago, and I started actively writing about it over 5 years ago (see, e.g. the “Wisdom of the Language“, just one of many articles I have written).

Yet most people are still very impressed with retard media… — I wonder why.
