I know it can't be just me, but their sites really are just becoming unusable now whenever you click on an article. It's actually really shit how when you search for something on a search engine depending on the news source you click on almost any site and it's some god awful subscription pop up or even try to spam email pop ups to make you register to their website. A lot of these big tech and mainstream sites seem to be going this way.
The guardian's pretty hilarious with their e-begging messages which is interesting because I wonder if their traffic is starting to drop as people get sick of their neverending nonsense. If we got to see a ton of journalists getting laid off that would be hilarious.
Just a rant, because again as somebody who does actual research I find it extremely annoying having to sift through these shitty news sources because they keep getting bumped up in the algorithm even though you can't even read their articles half the time anymore. The worse offenders seem to be sites like the Telegraph and the Economist yet they clearly get search engine favouritism. It's also why I whine when people post up twitter links and expect me to sign up to that crap just to look at one post, no thanks.
Good, means the mainstream media is getting desperate because they know the populace is starting to abandon them for their continuous lies and propaganda. Let’s hope they all go extinct.
That's why I archive first, and then read.
There needs to be more of this; especially when people want to share Twitter links.
Twitter is really annoying. I like how we can post the link and it just pops up here. If I use thread reader and archive, it just doesn't feel the same.
Just open in nitter.net
Nitter doesn't like me.
Unfortunate
Wikipedia has CONSTANT e-begging and I only use it for plot summaries of western media to know if it turns shit or not.
I think it's an indication of how much of a minority they are that they can't maintain an audience to survive on advertising alone so need to milk the few that still view them. I think YouTubers have a bigger viewership than these news sites nowadays.
I started adding those begging messages to my adblocker
It takes a lot of fiddling with filters to keep them away. The fuckers constantly manage to get around blocks with a different banner.
At least they figured out Jimbo's freakin face was driving away donations, lol
They bitch about "misinformation" spreading more than "true information", but lock their "true information" behind paywalls ...
So you noticed news paywalls and the Guardian ebegging. I'm trying not to say anything sarcastic.
Use removepaywall.com or just the URL in archive.is etc
My point is it's everywhere now, hell even a lot of the 'right wing' sites are doing it. GBNews have been doing a new thing lately with their stupid popups and yes I do tend to do archive.is I just find it annnoying that has to be the case.
why do you concern yourself with the opinions of journalists?
Ads aren't what they used to be.
The Free to view model is a huge reason the media become the malignant tumour we all know and loathe. It needs to be paid for somehow otherwise it just becomes a glorified blog, chasing what ever views are politically fashionable that millisecond. Of course , none of it is worth paying for right now, so we're kind of stuck in a catch 22.
I was going to say this as well, the "press is 100% active propaganda" started when news companies were collapsing because their revenue model disappeared.
Hard to resist paid propaganda or drama-posting when not doing it means the company going under.

b) WAIL, verb - "to lament; to moan; to bewail"
Case and point.
Sorry son, you're too smart for here. We just talk about anime and Jews. The bigger picture that needs addressing is out of our pay grade.
Clearly out of our pay grade, I won't even pay to view it!
You shouldn't. This guy is INSANE.
He goes on and on and on and on and on and on and ON about the definitions of individual words, not paying any heed to the grammar of the sentences you form, let alone the point or argument you're trying to make, because "Those who adapt to perceivable sound represent PHONETICIANS (from phonics; sound), while those who ignore it for suggested words are fooled by the "definitions" of others, hence representing DEAF PHONETICIANS." (He really said this. Word for word.)
He will NEVER STOP. I've seen him continue talks in threads for WEEKS doing this.
Ah, an AI bot-replier, alrighty.
I really don't think he's an AI. I honestly think he's just nuts.
I've seen him go at this for over a year now. An AI wouldn't take eight-hour breaks at roughly the same time every day like a human would.
Anime/animation + jew/you(phonetic) = You (life) within animation (inception towards death).
The highest value (perceivable) implies evaluation (perception)...everyone already has it.
One Piece...Luffy's Joy Boy transformation aka warrior of liberation was within him and transforms everything around him.
