    Not sure but what really bothers me is that joke that you have to pay for an article additionally to the ad revenue the outlet gets. I mean yes, you pay for a newspaper on the street but there is a vendor to sell it and he has to pay for the stand, electricity, water, etc.

    With online services that also run ads and probably get you reading the rest and get you buy a paid subscription.

    I think news agencies are the baddies here. If they don’t want their stuff seen on facebook, they should paywall it.
