What celebrities do or don't do matter's very little in my life as I don't attach my personal worth to anything they do. Far too many people hinge their feelings and opinions on those of celebrities or people like Felon Trump.

Should publishers or consumers curate content?

Since publishers have access to ample data, and insider knowlege and contacts, they should drive the curation process, while utilizing consumer feedback, to ensure high-quality content that is in demand.

Even though consumers might be knowledgeable, they don't have the responsibility to be unbiased. Hence, their views can be influenced by personal bias. On the other hand, publishers have the responsibility to not only ensure the accuracy of the content but also it's neutrality and unbiased view.

While consumers may contribute excellent insight into an industry, publishers have the responsibility and resources to provide researched information without personal bias, leading to more organized and objective information being presented.

I think publishers should curate content, so that important and meaningful information can reach the readers. Curating content makes the publisher look professional.

Although user generated content is valuable, I think publishers should have the final say as they have greater expertise with respect to content curation.

Publishers are businesses, and they have the right to curate content however they see fit. They have a responsibility to their employees and shareholders to ensure that quality content is being added to their site.

Content is often driven by "newness" and a desire to find the next big thing. Not only is this a financial incentive, but new movements are what inspire artists to truly develop and fine tune their craft making truly great works. Readers tend to want more of what they already know they like.

The resources they have to ensure accuracy is what's needed to create compelling content.

I think having user submitted content is great! However, publishers need to have the final editing eye in order to ensure accuracy, and that the content fits with their brand.

In the current state of media I think it's important to involve audiences but the professionals need to be attentive to the facts and presenting relevant information.

Readers are more able to judge the best content and aren't biased by sponsors.

Leaving the choice up to the publishers as to what content to curate gives far too much power to a small group of entities in the industry. Democratizing the process ensures a wider range of views and content get expressed and decreases the chance for industry manipulation.

I do but I go rounds w/ my guy. Ever since China stopped taking our recycling he stopped doing it. Idk if all that is real, I have noticed that our garbage guy just loads both cans into the same dump bin & it’s not sorted. So that’s really disturbing. Every little bit helps I feel. I rec. everything

I do what I can but live in an area where they don't have it. Still I save bottles and cardboard to take to recycling. I cook from scratch so don't really have cans.

We pay by the pound for certain items so why not pay less and recycle - it's the right thing to do for me and the environment.

Although I can only hope that it's useful because there is no proof that what is supposedly sent to the recyclers they actually carry through. You always hear about it not being done.

We take our own garbage to the dump and pay by the pound. Recycling is free so the more we recycle the less we have to pay.

We recycle everything possible. We also take cloth bags shopping, use insulated bag with blue ice for cold items & take reusable containers to restaurants for leftovers to take home.

It's not bogus I just do not have a place to drop it off in my area - if it's not close by I'm lazy and won't go out of my way (I'm a sad case).
