Me either. Imagine a world where the poor have no news access, and instead depend on Facebook for news.

I am trying to imagine a world where everyone think they should get for free other persons' labor. I wonder what that thing is called.

For some reason people online think writers and journalists are paid in Likes/Retweets

Small amount of text, large number of big grey rectangles with "Loading" in the middle.

Silliest paywall ever:

  1. Open dev tools
  2. Delete the overlay element (id = graphics-paywall-overlay)
  3. Disable 'overflow: hidden' on body
Or just run:

  document.getElementById("graphics-paywall-overlay").remove()
  document.body.style.overflow = 'inherit'

Yeah, the security on physical newspaper vending machines is laughably easy to defeat as well. Just smash the glass on the front with a rock and you can take as many papers as you want, for free. Or for a less destructive route you can use a special tubular lock pick.
