It's interesting to me to see shifting viewpoints around this. I've been building the Bloomberg Terminal for a long time, and to both users and programmers coming from the web ecosystem, there is often an immediate (somewhat) negative reaction as to why anyone (really any business, not person) would pay so much money for what the software provides. But once in a while, when you see something like this come along, you see viewpoints specifically pertaining to news and what everyone wishes they had was clean text-and-basic-photos delivery of relevant news without any ad-, web-, tracking-, social- bloat of the modern <insert any news corporation> website. That is specifically what businesses are paying for, and it is just one feature; what they get for their money is much larger than just one or a dozen news sites. They get something on the order of 100k feeds (e.g. WSJ is 1 feed) in dozens of languages from around the globe in all their text-only glory. So yeah, it could look like a throwback from another era. Or, alternatively, it could be exactly what everyone wants :)
