Journalism teams have been cut down below their capacity to actually do journalism. The corporate outlets just want content, so they killed journalism because clickbait is cheap.

I agree, but I think we the public have more than a little culpability as well. The fact of the matter is that the demand for quality journalism is much lower than the damand for vapid easily consumable entertaining bullshit. It's not just that clickbait is cheap; it's that people want clickbait, even if they say they don't.

Those of us who actually care about having good journalism, we should subscribe to independent journalism outlets. I pay for a bunch of them, often individual journalists or small teams. They have no overhead, and they just want to pay their bills with the income from their work.
