I started to notice some people posting NYT, Bloomberg or other websites with hard paywalls, that leads to people in the comments that are unable to read the article to discuess the headline without any analysis and some times spreading misinformation, which cannot be countered by the article, due to the paywall.
Which bring me to this: Why does no one thought about blocking hard paywalled articles for the sake of quality of discussion?
I disagree. The alternative to news is no news. If you don’t have anything interesting to share, just don’t post it.
If you want to share news articles, just use a link to the internet archive, if available, or copy-paste the text if it’s behind a paywall.
Information should be open to all on a platform like Lemmy imo. If you’re willing to pay for news, you won’t need this platform for that.
Please ban paywalls.
