Who is going to pay for it? Every time journalists try to get paid enough to eat and have a roof over their head people cry “paywall!!!”
Or if they do ad supported people cry “ad infested cancer site!!” Or “lol adblock!”
Just to be clear, i adblock the shit out of the internet. I prefer some kind of paid model, but i’ll get downvoted to hell for saying that. I’m not smart enough to have any good answers on how to pay journalists. But crying “paywall” at everything is not helpful…
What i dislike is having to have an account and password for everything. There needs to be a better model/system for paying journalists (not just in gaming media)
Currently the only business models are:
ad filled clickbait
billionaire backed media
unpaid volunteer work
paid subscription
And it seems like the only sustainable ones in this day and age are 1 and 2 (to the detriment of our society)
