These comments are great....I work for the one of the largest news sources on the planet and it's clear most people think I shouldnt get paid. Thanks.
Imagine giving away newspapers, but some articles are covered by a flimsy piece of paper saying you need to pay before you can rip it off.
Who would honestly pay to read?
You serious ?....so, how does a books author get paid ? Fiction or non fiction. A journalist or photographer ? They should just do the work unpaid ? that's real people using real time....
Seriously....whatever you read...someone created that....and you dont think they should be compensated......or just not by you ?
I pay for a book.
If they're giving the book away for free, they shouldn't be angry that I tear out the ads first.
