Newspapers are businesses.
Reporting costs money. Free news is generally paid for by the funder. Given the above, how is paywalled content hurting the news industry?
- nottorp 5y agoIt's not hurting the news industry... maybe. It's polluting the HN newsfeed... maybe. I for one won't subscribe to paywalled sites i only occasionally get links to on HN or other news aggregators just because they're linked here. Funny enough, I am subscribed to a site that gets linked on here semi regularly. Not paywalled, ads or pay for no ads/tracking. But I've been reading it longer than I've read HN.
