This reminds me of an article I read the other day in the Atlantic “democracy dies behind a paywall”. It’s basically showed that paywalls create a two tiered system where the rich got all the correct information and the poor were left to scrounge for free articles that were more likely to be fake news.
It’s enough that rich guys can buy a better bike. With ST as pay now they’re going to have all the latest fueling, gear, aero, whatever info too. Not to mention what Lionel’s next race is. The poors will have to wait until his next YouTube and comment there
So much misinformation has been peddled by pay walled media. WaPo? They're actually in the business of killing democracy. New York Times? Ha.
Anyways, I guess I pay for one paid media per year and that's ESPN+ and I can't say I'm getting the editorial value out of it. Rarely read ESPN, I'm there for all the live content.
Can't imagine I'd pay to read anything on slowtwitch, there's not enough content to get there, could there be? No not really. This is an incredibly niche sport. The reddit page for triathlon barely talks about professional triathlon.
