I started to notice some people posting NYT, Bloomberg or other websites with hard paywalls, that leads to people in the comments that are unable to read the article to discuess the headline without any analysis and some times spreading misinformation, which cannot be countered by the article, due to the paywall.

Which bring me to this: Why does no one thought about blocking hard paywalled articles for the sake of quality of discussion?

    I don’t get your opinion.

    I scroll in my feed for articles that interest me and ignore the others.

    Example:

    I am not interested into both articles, so I would ignore them till I find a interesting thing to read. How much time did it take for me here for 2 articles? 5 seconds max.

    If I found a article that I am interested in, then I read it which would take anywhere between 5-20 mins.

    Following less news sources, won’t benefit me at all.

    Anyway, you seem to be focused on arguing without having any real argument to defend your opinion.

      You seem pretty sure about that, I would not want to contradict you the slightest. I will get back to reading my (sometimes) pay-walled but billionaire-free articles. Thx for sharing your opinion, have a nice day.

        You are making claims and arguing in a way that prove to me that you don’t have any arguments to defend your opinion, neither articles to read in general.

        I am sure All the billionaires who own pay-walled media companies, thank you for your contributions.

        Thank you for arguing with me for several comments, without having any thing to say.

        Have a nice day.
