I’ll say it again. Stop tracking me and I’ll look at your ads. I look at physical mailers, like I literally look through them, more than I look at Internet ads.
How is msn even on this list? Their articles have been almost entirely clickbait trash since the mid 2000s.
They repost news from other sites, much like yahoo. They’re really just a news aggregator/feed — no original reporting.
New York Crimes number one!
I was confused there for a second but apparently the BBC has introduced a paywall only for US users. Site is still completely free to read anywhere else, which is why I didnt even realize that there is a paywall.
Which of course means that US Americans could simply VPN their way around it…
This is a little surprising to me because I read it on a daily basis and haven’t seen sign of the paywall yet. I don’t know if Ublock Origin is simply squashing that as well, or I’m somehow lucky.
The age of information is in the past.
I read an article that suggests classified ads used to support newspapers and hard journalism, and the Internet and sites like Craigslist took away that revenue to pay reporters.
Yep that’s pretty much how it went. Also print ads have lost against digital ads, which pay way less money to publishers and keep paying less each year
For real. People.com has “news” eh? Sure.
Those not seeking the truth will never notice when it’s gone.
I forgot about the paywall and assumed this was due to their international reputational damage, over things like their pro-Israel “reporting” of the occupations in Palestine.
I dropped BBC. Switched to DW and haven’t looked back
Why not Australia ABC news or Canada CBC News?

The report doesn’t clearly establish a link between paywalls and a drop in site visits (which I would have liked to see).
One of the un-paywalled sites lost traffic mostly due to changes in the Google algorithm.
Overall, it just seems like a regular update of the website traffic rankings, juiced up by a clickbait headline.
I’m guessing the use of AI is partially contributing to this drop.
Take your money from the ISP’s, not the people that use them. Fuck firewalls.
Pfft, fuck America, they deserve it while they allow a criminal to ruin the country and the world.
100% fuck America.
It’s a sad state when The Onion is a more trustworthy source than some of those!
maga becomes increasingly racist and bbc instantly drops down the rankings. coincidence?
Bro, what are you talking about?
