The internet is almost unrecognizable from what it was 20 years ago.
Profits run everything, and while I understand that, it does lend itself to a shitty experience for the user unless you pay for it.
Almost unrecognizable from just three years ago.
Ever notice how right-wing news is free but actual news you have to pay for.
Because making up stories is much easier than actual journalism.
Lmao, it’s so funny! We pay for made up things in the entertainment industry, but also pay for the truth in media. Ah, capitalism.
The lies are alwsys free, though.
We pay for those in various other ways.

All the actual journalism getting paywalled probably isn’t great for social/political discourse and our general grip on reality.
It’s kind of ridiculous how quickly actual access to news and an informed world view, which WAS supposed to be one of the Internet’s great advantages, has become a dream unless you pony up to the whimsies of every fucking publication board craving fat profits.
Yeah, plus it’s not even like having to buy newspapers in the pre-internet days, it’s all recurring subscriptions that are a pain to cancel. Truly a great shame.
It’s prices. You should be able to subscribe to a website for $3 a month
