I know there are ways around it, but I find that objectionable. Newspapers are certainly free to charge for their content.
I just don't understand why it's so expensive. A single newspaper should not cost as much as Netflix.

Are you a rubber duck?

Why?

Actually Netflix, with all the garbage (most of the catalogue) on it (especially the N branded formula ones), must not cost anywhere close to a single newspaper!

I find it difficult to believe that operating a major newspaper is as expensive as licensing a film catalog.
Admittedly I have no specialty on either and could be completely wrong.
I also know many papers are local, where as films tend to have a broad audience.
I think there has to be a better way. News is definitely ripe for innovation just like Apple and Spotify did to music.
I end up finding articles from the whatever paper is local to Lincoln NB and I think they deserve to get paid. But sorry: I am not subscribing to the Lincoln Herald or Brisbane Times or whatever local paper just because I happened to end up on one of your articles from 4 years ago through a search.
There has to be a better way.
