Before I start paying for it I need 1. quality news media 2. journalists are paid instead of CEOs getting millions 3. no op eds from far right radicals.

I wish there were some quality news media where readers are willing to pay.
All these perverted “we have a right to our revenue even though nobody wants to pay for our shitty product” assholes can go home.

I’d go so far as to say no op eds at all. If I’m paying for news, I want factual, high quality, ideally unbiased news, not some chucklefuck’s opinion. I can get some chucklefuck’s opinion all over the internet for free. (Case in point: You’re getting it right now, for free, by reading this comment.)

I’m on board with this. If it is newsworthy for some reason, factual reporting would be to describe what they said instead of giving a platform to say whatever. Perhaps with (legitimate, fact-based, not just “bothsidesing”) commentary on disagreeing viewpoints.

“Nobody”? The New York Times alone has over 10 million paying subscribers.

And then it’s a steep dropoff… Maybe ten newspapers with more than 1m subscribers.

The problem is that I don’t want to only read news from one source. I also don’t want to pay 15 different news subscriptions.
If the same organization that shut down this repo would spend the time and money coming out with a joint account that was reasonably priced, people wouldn’t resort to piracy.
But nope. Each paper needs their own subscribers.

It’s like going to buy a car, getting to the car store, ahem, dealership, and finding they only have one brand of car. What the fuck is this? Let me see all the brands. It’s 2024, where’s our car stores?
