    Advertisement. You don’t have to pay for original content. You just need to pay someone/thing to summarize it and get clicks for advertisement.

      I can’t say I’ve ever seen this in my life. Paid advertisement on summaries of paywalled articles. Not something I’ve come across. Certainly they would be sued if they were found by the companies in question I imagine.

        Sure you have. If you ever have read an article that says “As reported in X”, that is a summarization of another journalist’s work.
