Just checked myself and for me in the US, they want $35/mo after $2/mo for 3 months

And I'm betting the site is also riddled with adds to the point you can barely read an article in the first place.

Absolutely will pay for news.

I won’t pay that though wtf

Bloomberg and similar publications are marketed to a particular subset and are all this expensive.

Yeah I was reading the financial times yesterday and they now want £55 per month for a subscription. Madness.

I wish that all the damn news sites would band together and make a Spotify for news. Or just let me pay a few cents for each article. I'm not gonna go subscribe to 50 news sites.

You probably don't want a "Spotify for news" given what a hellscape subscription services have brought to every other platform.

Maybe you should just go subscribe to one? Back in the day people just literally subscribed to a single journal that would come in the mail.

Spotify for News sounds like Google News. Clickbait and useless tiny articles.

[-] Rooty@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Go directly to Reuters and AP, most noteworthy news come from these two sources anyway.

This isn't a news article though. It's an opinion. Content on a news site is not automatically a news article. That's like thinking Fox monologues and calling it news because fake judge Janine or the gagged Cucker show is on Fox News

At the same time, it's impossible to have independent journalism if we, the readers, don't finance it. Not talking about Bloomberg in particular, but about independent journalism in general

You can get around most news paywalls by turning off JavaScript or using the "reader mode" feature in most browsers.
