@valkyrie Exactly the same as with #BigMedia which out of snobbish Elitism rather wants to #Paywall shit with asshole-level #Subscriptions rather than improve content quality and switch to #Patreon, #Flattr, #Kachingle or even single-article purchases...
Attached: 1 image Fuck New York Times for #paywalling and tracking. Also who the f**k at https://12ft.io did remove #NYTimes from their site?
@GreenFire imagine if 
instance would offer such tiers via 
, #flattr, #kachingle or 
like the "priority queue" on 2b2t.
One thing we've to also account for is that #TwitterBlue and #TwitterGold are the only ways to get #API restrictions lifted, and I'm quite convinced major news outlets like @heiseonline or @ntv got those #GoldBadges for free as they would've likely threatened to quit #Twitter if they can't continue to use their toolchain to post stuff...
@walsonde @tarnkappeinfo +9001%
besonders wichtig sind Werkzeuge wie https://12ft.io/ für jene ewiggestrigen Medien die sich verweigern #Patreon, #Kachingle, #Flattr oder auch nur #SMS-Billing für Einzelartikelkäufe umzusetzen!

And since that doesn't prevent me from reading it on my device of choice, I prefer that.
So it's big corporate media's intentional choice to patronize and annoy potential customers with shitty #DRM and bs. payment methods that are more inconvenient that buying a #printed variant.
Same with websites: Instead of ads and tracking, they could just use #flattr, #kachingle & #Patreon like everyone else.
