I'm not saying I agree with it, but just for the sake of playing devil's advocate - what if the business legitimately makes its revenue by serving ad content on it's site to it's users?

What if a business legitimately makes its revenue by polluting the air around it?

Maybe that business should fail.

This seems like a respectable position as long as you don't ever complain about paywalls, geographical blocks, or the quality of journalism.

Seems like many commenters want the businesses to both fail and provide them with expensively produced content for free.

Journalism survived quite well before a few companies started following every one of our steps and selling dossiers around.

In fact, its quality was better, and they did live mostly on advertisement.
