Your analogy is flawed. It's like someone smelling the coffee but not wanting to compensate the person who grew/roasted/brewed the coffee.

- dopidopHN 3y agoSmelling is not strong enough. People get enough from headlines. I would say “free sample” like those tiny bits or minuscule shots at Whole Food.
- wvenable 3y agoI agree. The people giving away the samples, in this case the news media themselves, are enticing you to their articles with the headline, maybe a blurb, and maybe an image. If you take the sample and don't care for the rest, that's fine. Nobody should have to pay for that. The whole point is that it's advertising. If nobody wants the product then nobody wants the product. Charging someone for the "free" samples is no solution.
