Hearthpwn

Quote from Fluxflashor >>

This is not the first time we've put up Kripp vids, in fact, they used to be more common place and were always received with a lot of positive comments.

Apparently we're not suppose to try and engage discussion anymore or share community content.

You know you've run out of ideas when you consider a random Kripp video news....You do realize he uploads like 2 videos daily? At least pick a video that's exceptional and not the regular "how good is X" video.

Kripp taking over Hearthpwn WutFace

My opponent always gets a Felfire Potion in Arena. I tend to get the demon buff. Coincidence?

Well at least since it was barely any dust since it was a budget deck you shouldn't regret it for very long.

Well, third only based on win-rate, but not on games played/win-rate ratio, because then he would've been first.

Nice advertising, please post more "news" like this.

He even posts copies of Kripp's decks, for double-irony...

His videos are really helpful for new players and have good quality. You are being petty.

Why is this news.

Because the Curse Network loves its "relationship" with YouTube and Twitch streamers; they ping-pong each others' traffic by plugging each other with this big circle of advertising (errr, I mean news). It's win-win for anyone involved, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper for Curse to hire independent contractors who basically just re-post and aggregate content, rather than paying salaries (or higher freelance rates) for real journalists.

Like why is this bad? Isn't this kinda good, so casual readers can just sit on this site and get all good, sorted out content they need?

Are you really from this century? 

because we usually tend to believe what we read in news and media

Welcome to the world.

It is this way for really long time now. Every media is filled with product placement and advertising purposes. And any normal civilian understands that and kinda filters it out. You are some kind of weird idealist, who dream of perfect world.

Are we satisfied with websites like Hearthpwn being just another content aggregator?

Nobody really cares. They have to make a living. And it's not easy. They have nothing besides advertising. Don't like it - go make something else and try surviving without that side of the media. Because nobody - and I really mean it - won't pay a dime nowadays to get some clear facts info.

While I'm not sure if I agree with WaxPaper's connection between HearthPwn linking a random Kripp video to the decline of journalism, I do think he has quite a good point on the actual issue at stake.

The point is that people are coming to expect free news content as a right, and that as time has gone on the quality of it has declined.  You can't do real journalism with no money, which means that we're getting less and less out of our "news."  We read what we want to, believe what we want to, and don't think twice about where the information originally came from.

Not to put words in his mouth, but he's not talking about how he can do a better job.  He's talking about the degenerate state of media that relies solely on advertisement.  Acting world-wise about it doesn't make it more acceptable.

He's presenting that, as something new. And that is not. Grow up, get over it, adjust.
