#2That was melodramatic. The author built up a rising crescendo against the "bullshit" inherent in print/web media, throwing major publishers with immense readership under the bus, and then offered no solution to follow up with...except the most anticlimactic, unhelpfully vague call to arms: "Less bullshit, more real shit."
Oh. That's all we need to do? That's a Goldilocks fallacy.

Not to mention he linked to several "bullshit" articles, thus perpetuating more of the same.

The author is suggesting that people will eventually get sick of the news provided by social media and begin to crave serious, slow journalism again. I don't think this is an issue where "Problem --> solution" relationship exists. It will simply take time to revert back to what the author deems as quality journalism. Medium has a lot of these "truthy" titles but this one actually does not seem far off the mark.
