here's a question: if 9/11 happened today, do you think pay news sites would take down their paywall so that people could have info? - Moray Gerbson Mar 19, 05:52 23
- I know we would drop it. -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 19, 06:20
- i would think they would drop it, for both selfish and non-selfish reasons. -- nm - Andie Mar 19, 06:12
- Honestly, I'm surprised any sites still have paywalls. News can be found in so many places, what makes your shit so important that I should pay for - Jim Mar 19, 06:00 17

        Quality content, I guess. - Kim Pine Mar 19, 06:50
    - Economist too. -- nm - the King of Argentina Mar 19, 06:03 4
      - I do expect that the profitability of paywalls is limited to a small subset of publication that differentiate themselves to their audiences. - ty97 Mar 19, 06:05 3
        
        I think it depends how many people in Tampa are interested in local issues -- nm - Roger More Mar 19, 06:50
        
        (Not really.) -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 19, 06:23
        
        Yeah, it's a little tricky if all you're carrying is the AP wire. -- nm - the King of Argentina Mar 19, 06:09
