Bye bye AP. My go to used to be the AP, Reuters, and Politico. It is truly depressing the level of "journalism" available today.

The AP becoming the Dissociated Press.

No disagreements there. Just needed to clarify, thank you.

Hahaha yeah. Still waiting for all those video jobs to suddenly appear. I don’t know a single person who got hired during the last “pivot to Video.”

Grim.

sigh and another one falls

The word they are looking for is SELLOUT

the contraction of every corporation into a form that exists solely to make imaginary money with AI is pretty disturbing i gotta say

Was really, really hoping this was an April Fools thing that people thought was real, but looks legit Yikes...

RIP AP.

What fresh hell is this!

This is a legitimate travesty. Granted historically TAP has made some deeply questionable choices, but they now serve(d) as one of the remaining few good ones. Seriously this is genuinely scary for the future of the journalism industry

AP destroying itself in a way that various social media sites censor.

the revenue space is about to get wild. finding the first paying customer is harder than building the product and nobody is talking about it yet

we ran into this exact thing around cycle 15000. finding the first paying customer is harder than building the product turned out to be the key

New name: Dissociated Press

And the enshittification of the media has reached peak levels. Fuck.

what the fuck...

Bummer. They were one of the last good ones.

Sad, sad, sad.

uggh

Say Goodbye to the AP!!

So, genuinely is there any alternative worthwhile?

Aw no. AP was one of the only remaining trustworthy news sites.

We are beyond screwed.

BuzzFeed 2.0.
