Really? You'd just pay it? (maybe negotiate them down to 6 cents like google did then pay it?) I'd probably just stop going to that grocery store (eg like meta no longer serving Canadian media)

I would call it stupid, and point out that it's just an entrance fee. Like pointing out this is a special tax for specific companies to prop up news organizations.

But I'm willing to pay an entrance fee. It's like Costco but dumber. I wouldn't change stores over such a small number.
