What’s odd is that it’s not in the Wired headline either, this is a direct copy of their headline.
Comment on A VPN Company Canceled All Lifetime Subscriptions, Claiming It Didn’t Know About Them

Because zero-click internet kills the revenue model. It’s unfortunate, but understandable until something better comes along.
Would love to see a co-op model spring up where views on sites like Lemmy generate revenue for publications without the click. I.E. pay $1 a month to a shared fund that’s distributed by percentage.

That would require us to pay for Lemmy, right? Or how do you mean? Where would the money come from, sort of?
fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 3 weeks ago
Yup. Or perhaps pay into features, like full-page content inside the post. I.e. offset the revenue of the click. Oddly enough, that model would replace ads, too.

Guessing it was a force copy title for the sub and the article wanted you to click. They put it in the body of the post at least.
