Lots of ads

Edit: also tv news is also a new concept.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right, so ads aren't a recent development.

[–] lud@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ads have existed for an extremely long time.

And most news has cost money since forever.

Tv news is a relatively new development and TV news is entirely founded by ads and as a way to drive viewers to a channel to keep them for other programmes.

TV news is 80 years old. It's far from new.

[–] lud@lemm.ee -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Again, that was not my point.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not sure why you keep stating it.

[–] lud@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why are you so stuck on the tv thing?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because you keep insisting on repeating falsehoods.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mentioned it as a sidenote. It's not important, forget about it.

Either way it's subjective and honestly 80 years is not that long, but who cares 🤷

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is in this context, and you're categorically wrong on all counts.

[–] lud@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Again completely ignoring the point...

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That everything you've been stating is wrong?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How is something 80 years old "new?"

[–] lud@lemm.ee -2 points 2 years ago

Relatively new compared to news. Either way it doesn't matter, my point was that it's funded by ads.

Tv news also drives viewers to a channel which is probably the main purpose of it.
