It has been gone from Spain for some time now.
I thought I was going to miss it, but honestly, I don't.
I also thought that the news services would crumble and die. They didn't, but their news quality took a dive. I can't say whether this is causality or just correlation.
- JumpCrisscross 8y ago> I also thought that the news services would crumble and die. They didn't “The [Spanish] law...cost publishers €10 million, or about $10.9 million, which would fall disproportionately on smaller publishers” and led to “smaller Spanish aggregators, such as Planeta Ludico, NiagaRank, InfoAliment, and Multifriki shut[ting] down” [1].

- otikik 8y agoWhen I said "news services" I meant publishers, not aggregators. I didn't know or use any of those aggregators you mentioned.
- collyw 8y agoI do miss it when there is a specific news story (usually fairly niche or local) that i am looking for. Duckduck go has a similar service that does work in Spain, but the search isn't as good.
