If those news sources don’t want to give away content for free then they shouldn’t transmit those contents to the user’s computer and then run a client-side script to pretend that they didn’t.
I would probably drop 50 cents to read a single article from a news site that I’m not on consistantly but expecting normals paying for 3 or 4 $10 a month subscriptions for news seems to be what is expected and that is just not realistic.
You serious ?..so, how does a books author get paid ? Fiction or non fiction. A journalist or photographer ? They should just do the work unpaid ? that’s real people using real time…
Seriously…whatever you read…someone created that…and you dont think they should be compensated…or just not by you ?
Welcome to Lemmy. A place where the user based thinks that anarchism works, everything only being free isn’t mainstream, and that piracy is the answer to teaching big companies a lesson but they will pirate Zelda and talk about how great it is but how terrible Nintendo is rather than just buying Zelda to support devs.
I have been on here 3 weeks and in those 3 weeks I have learned the community here has this thought that they are not as big of ass holes as people on Reddit. However, they are just as inclusive and additionally just different kinds of assholes.
These comments are great…I work for the one of the largest news sources on the planet and it’s clear most people think I shouldnt get paid. Thanks.

Ideally I’d just be able to pay you.
I heard you, but so what?
Imagine giving away newspapers, but some articles are covered by a flimsy piece of paper saying you need to pay before you can rip it off.
Who would honestly pay to read?

I pay for a book.
If they’re giving the book away for free, they shouldn’t be angry that I tear out the ads first.
