Misleading facts aside, infographics and Top N lists are a worrying trend on the Internet in which discourse is polluted with mindless content farms that are less concerned with disseminating facts than they are with getting clicks.

I know it sounds elitist, but personally I pine for the years of professionalism and expertise in the media. Crowdsourced content sounds great in theory, but in practice, nobody has the talent/attention span/spare time to do it right.
