Do you work for free?

Do you pay for access to articles that will take you 30 seconds to read and never look at again?

If I'm gonna pay for news, it damn well better be something above and beyond what else is out there.

Also, remember where you are. If you're trying to share news and you link to it somewhere that makes people jump through hoops to actually read it, you're kinda the asshole.

Nope...but I don't bitch about it either. Reporters deserve to get paid for their work just like anyone else. If it's not worth it to you, don't click the link, and don't expect to read it. The length of the article is irrelevant. Anybody with one iota of common sense knows a Globe article ain't coming for free.

Depends on the nature of work, intents, for who, and also on the definition of free, have you?

I'm not the one bitching about having to pay for someone else's work.

Debating. Bitching is what comes from your stubby fingers while you type.

How is "Pay walls are a fuckin plague" debating? It's not. It's bitching...or whining if you prefer.
