People who make content for money are suffering from a collapse in ad prices. There are people who make content because they enjoy making and sharing content.

That's not what we're talking about... we're talking about news. Real news, with investigative journalism costs money. You need to pay for people to be on the ground, travel expense, etc.

This thought that everything you consume online should be completely free is insane. If everything we consumed online was just someone’s hobby there’d be even more trash.

There sure was a lot less trash when the web first came to the internet and there weren't any paid sites. Of course there was a lot less everything.

When it first started there were more smart people using it over dumbasses. What was there that would have even been worth paying for?
