"Skeptics are howling that this is a Faustian bargain—that the media are mortgaging their long-term futures for short-term gain...
Facebook has presented the news media with a collective-action problem. News sites aren’t blind.... if they could all get together and decide, as a group, what to do about Facebook, no doubt they’d think long and hard about the long-term sacrifices ...
