- trompetenaccoun 5y agoAnother user asked but failed to get a reply. What should they do instead? The old business model failed when people stopped buying physical newspaper copies and this is what they came up with. It was unpopular from the start and lead to many papers struggling, so I'm sure they've thought about alternatives harder than the average social media user. I'm all ears in case you have a good idea though. Remember the goal is getting money to pay the journalists and other expenses.
