Because that's what he does, that's his only role on here. He just  spreads misinformation on here, probably on twitter, instagram, facebook etc as well (and if he doesn't use those, maybe his own blog, steemit, etc)

So yeah. Unsure of why someone like this is going to continue to spread misinformation, but they have their fun doing it.

As usual you miss the forest for the trees. Instead of taking clickbait titles into account and integrating that information, you just dump the whole of it  (as if the mainstream media you worship at the feet of don't do exactly the same thing). This is a category error. There is no such thing as bad information, only useless interpretations of it.

Isn't that how most of the online BS news works anyway? Though people will always remember that you get more clicks if you write things like "THE END OF FREELANCE JOUNRALISM" or something crazy along those lines.

God damn. This isn't going to effect anyone.

well its still no big change, is just shifts from a financially defined media system towards a state oligarchial one, people will still behave illegally even more, as it would restrict their freedom.

It's kind of funny as I know exactly *3* people who are freelance and they all on the total opposite side of this from what the article says.

Now, it's not a real scientific study and for 2 of them it's not their "real job" more of a profitable side gig but they both think it's great.
The one that does it full time thinks it's better then great.

Mostly they feel it puts the smaller writers doing side jobs on one side and the ones that do this for a living on the other. Or as the full timer put it (more or less)

"If you do handyman work on the side people don't expect you to have the best tools, an amazing work van, and possibly you might look the other way about a permit or 2, and that's fine. You are fixing a porch or hanging a cabinet or replacing a vanity in the bathroom. You are probably not ripping out someones kitchen and redoing everything as a side job after your real job." He then went on to say that as a full time freelancer he was frequently loosing jobs to people who would undercut him on similar spec articles because as he put it, they were not paying their own insurance, didn't have a real home office, etc. So now, if the publications want to really keep doing this then they are going to have to make a decision as to (once again his words) "use the day laborers standing in front of Home Depot to do your remodel or hire a real contractor"

The part timers think it's good because they feel that if they do cross the threshold it's a badge of honor type thing and can demand more $ from the publishers since they are obviously used a lot.

Now, I don't have a real view on this, I just got sucked into the conversations with all them at different times over the last week about this and then saw this post today.
I figured I would wind up playing some sort of referee but they all more or less had the same view.

Could be for many different reasons, don't know or for the most part care. Just figured I would share. Feel free to ignore....

If freelance Journalism will be removed then the remaining media left will be those who are being controlled by the government. If that is the case all news will be filtered leaving the democrats to have control over the news. Their bad reputation will be replaced by positive publicity, corruption and other illegal activities done by the government will no longer be shown on mass media. Aside from that they can just make their enemies to have bad reputation by streaming negative issues on their political opponent. This move is to protect their greed that is financial authority as well as political monopoly.

I don't do 'tinfoil hat', and I absolutely don't reject an idea because it is labeled by someone as such.  Indeed, just the opposite because the term is cultivated for use in rejecting ideas which need extra kick of illogical rejection because they actually are valid.

Another similar tool is to promote a hoax like 'flat earth', then conflate perfectly valid concerns (vaccine concern, climate change skepticism, etc) with the fabricated hoax.

These kinds of gimmicks work well on weak minded people who are terrified to be separated from their 'herd'.  Unfortunately that is a strong majority of the peeps.  It's just how 'normies' are wired.  Oh well.

What I do are hypothesese.  If a hypothesis is nullified and/or does not work, they are valueless and forgotten.  If they continue to work (provide explanations for statistical anomalies, are useful for making accurate predictions, etc) they usually remain hypothesese but gain strength.

Haha! I know it's pretty much tinfoil but the greatest changes are those that is barely noticeable. I already see a lot of people online saying that Texas has pretty much become blue from all the people moving from California.

Another equally tinfoil I've heard was that they are pushing people out of the state (and turning certain areas into shithole using hobos) is so the land can be bought up cheaply (the market value goes down if the street is covered in shit and used syringes) and resold later.

That's a hypothesis worth exploring.  Really!  Pattern match if other 'thought leaders' or entrenched and influncial people from the state find it necessary to re-locate because of policy directives.

I know you have a rock hard tiny boner for me Nutilduhh, never missing an opportunity to fling turds like a chimp contributing nothing to the actual discussion, but this really is sad. Speaking of things you don't understand, Tim Pool is a well known liberal, not that attacking his lean is an argument, but don't let that get in the way of your frothing bias. Also, people who throw the term "incel" around frivolously as an insult are extremely pathetic. If you were around in the 1920s US you would be the type of guy screaming about how "marijuana makes negros go crazy and rape white women."

Watched it and afterwards still confused about what they are trying to achieve. It's baffling. Maybe this is a pilot test on something that they intend to apply to the rest of the country? Maybe something that's going to be used to selectively target journalists writing right-oriented pieces? With these people, it's hard to tell what they're thinking or if they are even...

More people on welfare, more power for the state I guess. Or maybe they really want to drive these people out of California to spread the cancer across the whole of America.

Pathetic.

Two of the freelancers I'm working with are producing ~20 articles/week for me along. One is the US, the other is the UK. Ok, there are not CA based, but what if those idiots make it national-wide legislation in a year or two...
... Democrats are kicking their own chair it most-Democratic supportive state!

LOL "journalists". 35 articles a year, yeah, I don't think that would be enough to support anyone. On one hand, this is a disturbing development and might be implemented more harshly on people with "wrongthink" and could be used to hide what's really happening in CA. On the other hand, people are going to stay away from CA writers because of the limitations and just commission the articles from elsewhere.
