One of the things, as someone who pays a subscription, that annoys me intensely about the BBC is that they follow the pathological behaviours of the paid news outlets. Most egregious is their hiding of information to increase page views. Then there's things like adverts for their own shows that don't tell you when they're on, interstitials in free-to-air programming, burying the lede to increase page views.

The biggest (by visual size) story at the moment on http://bbc.co.uk/news is "Banned in China? Why Gigi and Katy missed big show" which is just "Singers without visas not included in advertising show for lingerie company". Why they feel the need to copy the worst traits of paid/ad supported content is beyond me.
