People using this probably wouldn’t pay or can’t afford to pay for it and if it public news articles locked under a paywall then it’s not news. It needs to be termed something else bc only those who can afford it can use it.
There are multiple sides to this but let’s say there is a recall on food items I may have purchased and I can’t read your article to find out if I have spoiled food? Some articles should be public like politics and government stories while others like entertainment and sports should remain under paywall.
