Gatekeeping the news? No ty.

[-] SaltSong@startrek.website 9 points 3 weeks ago

Do you think the news just appears on webpages for us to consume?

Particularly in the case of investigative journalism, there is a skill involved in writing the stories, and it consumes the time and effort of many people.

Charging money for your work is not "gatekeeping." It's how you keep eating.

It’s not gatekeeping. You are paying for a service so that it can continue to persist.
