To be fair they usually invest some time, energy and/or money into making sure that you want to read it. I don't want to pay for most news, but often I'm baited by an appealing headline. I'm not above being baited and fear of missing out, and they are exploiting this. If I'm preparing food in my house and people want a part of it, it would be weird to me. But if after preparing my food I use a complex system of fans to blow a delicious odor over my neighbours while having a beautiful table set up visible through my windows, and do this every single day, I can understand that they can't stay indifferent to the situation.
