Am I missing something? For years I’ve consider(ed) Boing Boing to be one of the ‘good guys’ on the internet, and as a good guy, the first thing any blogger learns is proper attribution… yet, it seems like half the posts I see on BB now don’t include a source link. Add this fact to the barrage of Boing Boing Store emails I seem to get, and I really have to wonder.
I recognize and respect the need to make a profit (one of the reasons I don’t run an adblocker of any kind), and could easily forgive the store emails, software bundles, and other commercial posts… but the fact that I almost always have to check the comments to (hopefully) find a link to the source really makes me wonder if the site has turned a corner.
It makes me sad and I hope I’m wrong.
