Why GNU/Linux journalism (and free software journalism in general) sucks?
It seems that pretty much every medium-big blog/news portal about GNU/Linux doesn't give a shit about content quality. I've found a ton of misleading tutorials and misinformation. Most of them are full of advertisement and analytics. And they link to proprietary social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc). They only care about monetization.
The only good content about GNU/Linux are personal blogs truly written by users.
I think the combination of the following two things can explain it:
(1) There is unfortunately not much high-quality journalism going on at all nowadays, about any subject. The few journalists who are in a position to do good work need to write about "big" topics.
(2) The topic "GNU/Linux" is unfortunately not big enough, most people (including journalists themselves) don't understand what GNU/Linux is, or what software freedom means.
I hope both of the above will change. 🙂
