With the explosion of the internet human beings have been assaulted with all media in every corner of our lives.
This sudden access to ALL written knowledge has, almost strangely, made most media worthless.
To the point where it is almost a privilege to be momentarily away from all of it.
Thus the end of the hard copy.
Including the hard copy of The PhilosophyNow Magazine.
Individuals need not pay for a hard copy of anything ESPECIALLY rehashed dead philosophers dead insights from a time when limited knowledge was the dejour.
The fact that we are bombarded with print & image media throughout our day has brought us to the FACT that access to ALL media makes 99% of ALL that media worthless.
Which has brought on the FACT that 99% of ALL hard copy media is no longer able to pay it's contributors anything.
ANYTHING worth while that is...Sometimes they throw a meaningless bone of a free subscription to the hard copy, which again, is worthless.
The bankruptcy feeds upon itself to the point where even most forums and blogs have gone the way of hard copy for lack of even the basic of audiences.
99% of Traditional Publishing Houses HAVE BEEN DEVASTATED.
NO ONE who is not already an established name can even hope to be published in the traditional way.
It's over.
Over to the point where even the largest of blogs & forums do not and cannot pay even a modicum to their contributors and moderators.
Again, which this feeds upon itself invoking bankrupt contributors and shitty moderators...Which again feeds the swirling cesspool of growing worthless content – which invokes - subscribers who are less willing to pay for content – which invokes – more shitty, worthless, rehashed content – which invokes more & MORE worthless content.
STOP the hard copy. Stop it TODAY.
Focus upon the failing viewership of the Philosophy Now Forums.
Open your doors. You got this fucked-up idea that if you squeeze your asshole even tighter you will somehow obtain GOOD content – and your brand PhilosophyNow will grow. Not going to happen.
STOP PhilosophyNow hard copy.
OPEN your doors upon the internet.
Be open to new ideas.
Perhaps even the phpBB® Forum Software © phpBB Group no longer serves you well.
GET WITH the fuckin times.
Encourage philosophy NOW. As in REAL time. REAL philosophy – NOW.
