+1 to post count? I don't see how that fits in with any of my grievances towards the cultural effects of ad revenue.

Cultural effect of ad revenue? Are somehow indicating that someone collecting ad revenue from google will degrade their culture or become an unproductive citizen in their town simply because they earn income from online ads?

Cultural degradation isn't inherent in the acceptance of ad revenue. It opens the avenue though for clickbait spam hell.

I would say yes, that the internet in general has fostered an environment where people care less about their town. It's not absolute, but it is certainly there. When you acknowledge this level of internet traffic didn't exist thirty years ago it's a point of fact that these current users would be occupying their time some other way if the internet hadn't developed as it has.

I have expressed concerns for videos blatantly misrepresenting the truth to mislead viewers and create a sense of paranoia and fear. This has become an entire category unto itself.
