So the implication then, is that real & substantial content comes from those who get paid, and ideology-reinforcing propaganda and clickbait come from those who don't?

Are you sure it's true? Are you sure it's not the opposite? Could either or both be true?

Substantial content takes more work to produce then clickbait.

We must critically examine the structural incentives we put in place that support shallow outrage porn over deep, well-sourced, investigative journalism.
