    While I don’t think the lack of quality journalism is all due to OP not paying for it (I have no clue if they do or don’t) but there is a lot of complaining on Lemmy and Reddit about paywalls which is annoying. The idea that people want quality journalism but get pissed off when those journalist and news organizations asked to get paid for it is ridiculous.

      The hypocrisy and entitlement is infuriating.

      The internet has destroyed journalism’s business model. A respected profession has been pauperized. Salaries in freefall, hardly any job security left.

      And people who pay nothing (let’s be real, OP is paying nothing) add insult to injury by demanding a higher quality product.

        And when we do pay for it (magazines, physical newspapers) it’s over half ads.
