The publisher of Cook’s Illustrated has an interesting op/ed in the NYT today on the lamentable death of Gourmet magazine, the success of his own subscription (membership) model, and the modern “click-or-die” marketplace: “The world needs fewer opinions, and more thoughtful expertise — the kind that comes from real experience, the hard-won blood-on-the-floor kind.”

Nice counterpoint to the social media cheerleading. I care about the opinions of folks I trust but also trust the opinions of people I don’t know who have that hard-won experience.
