    I think that’s just the nature of smartphone related journalism at the moment. It’s sort of a reflection of where the industry is at: lacking substance and focused on short-termism above all else. In the media this translates to a never-ending hype circle around the latest releases, rumours and “leaks”. Everything else has some clickbait name and a bunch of poorly written, irrelevant filler to pad out the “article” for SEO purposes.

      I mean this goes for “news” in general.

      Some days are slower than others. If you’re not producing “news”, you’re not making money.

      What do you do? Fabricate “news” whenever you can.
