I still wonder if the scientists realise how heavily they will be dumped on if it does go pear-shaped.<br /><br />Sam - you are probably right and this seems to be the way forward for media generally. Specialise, focus on the clicks and sell your audience to the advertisers.<br /><br />A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-87889043523306147842019-07-21T20:23:33.221+01:002019-07-21T20:23:33.221+01:00You're right there, Sam.

I can only guess that it is run by quite clever people who are targeting an audience who are young, woke, urban, and with short attention spans and a need to be recognised. Such folk have relatively high levels of disposable income, so advertisers pay well.
