    Just canceled by subscription because, um

    DEMOCRACY FUCKING DIES IN FUCKING DARKNESS

    thought that shit was a warning, not a business plan.

    Silly me.

    Sure would be a shame if the general public and subscribers of the LA Times and WaPo learned about having only to put 12ft.io/, or archive.is/ in front of paywalled article URLs in order to bypass the paywall very easily…

    A terrible decision and really disturbing if the board doesn’t have the guts to stand up to the boss.

    That said, what’s with these ‘articles’ that are nothing more than gathering screen shots and repeating what people said on Twitter? Do better people, the point of social media is the public can already read that crap for themselves. You’re not investigating or adding value to anything by doing this…
