Why should they be obliged to pay for the news if they don't want it because it isn't valuable for them? Is it immoral not to buy the $15 hotdog at a sports stadium even if you decide you're not that hungry?

If news isn't valuable to Facebook that's great for everybody then. Users leave facebook to look for news in place of getting informed by their echo-chambers. Win-win-win.

  Except it doesn’t seem to have worked out this way

    It did. They are complaining that people spent less time enganged on social media. This is positive.

      One of the main points of the article is “Less news is being consumed by Canadians”. So clearly Canadians are not going to the news sites to get the news from there like you claimed

        Here, I fixed it for you: “Less news is being consumed by Canadians on FACEBOOK”

        You don’t need to “fix” this, it was a direct full quote from the article. Here’s another one: “They do not appear to be seeking news elsewhere”

        Still great news :) Social media trash isn't informing anyway
