Then we're back to needing technical knowhow. These are not approachable services to the common man. Lemmy is hilariously unusable. Us nerds are willing to put up with it because it is something to geek out on, but why would a small town CTV reporter who has better things to do than fumble around on a computer all day? I'm sure he gets paid the same whether or not he markets his work independently of CTV.
Moreover, what's the point? Even if he has the technical knowhow, or is willing to put in the effort to gain it, the rest of the population doesn't. And they are going to care even less. It is not like news is exactly seen as being valuable. If it were, we wouldn't be here talking about how the news industry is suffering. If it is just for me, he may as well give me a phone call when he has something new to share.
He's a journalist, not some average Joe. Adapt or die.
