@patrickworld Here's a non-paywalled version, surprisingly from the Washington Post which is notorious for its paywalls. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/07/14/twitter-is-dying-is-it-time-for-news-subscriptions-to-follow/d8f37c0e-2255-11ee-8994-4b2d0b694a34_story.html @MOULE @patrickworld WAPO article paywalled for me. Reload, CTRL-A CTRL-C switch to word processor CTRL-V trick worked. @patrickworld @patrickworld @FuchsiaShock The juxtaposition of “...spreading misinformation for free" and “journalists need a way to compete.” Heh. @chartier @patrickworld lol, like "people are getting it for free, instead of paying us for it" @patrickworld they're not spreading misinformation for free on twitter, they're actually getting paid for it now Well, it's good that they respect free speech for their columnists, even when they contradict the company policy. Who knows, it may be a way to know what they readers think about it. @patrickworld @kyleejohnson Perhaps they could also hire editors who read the headlines they write? The way it’s written it makes it sound like journalists have to compete in the spread of misinformation @patrickworld LOL! But not lol, this is a result of the fact that these profit models demands desperation to work. @patrickworld I would honestly subscribe to more news sources if I knew that I would be left alone when I leave. Right now, most sane people are aware that signing up for any magazine, journal or newspaper subscription is selling your soul to the devil. Or more accurately, your email inbox Most paywalled materials can be obtained through the wayback machine or your public library. |
