It was nice to discover/realise that I can be very much "let's end advertising as a business model"
and ALSO be like "it is not my problem that you have to find a new business model"
@aurynn me with journalism
@nev they just need to work harder to find a new business model
@aurynn @nev I've found the most interesting model so far to be that of De Correspondent in the Netherlands - you need a subscription to get access to the full archive and receive the newsletter.
Every individual article, however, can be linked freely and indefinitely, without requiring the recipient to have a subscription or account. No view limits, no access restrictions, nothing.
Result: they've been financially healthy for years, and have been putting out more genuine journalism than nearly all of the other media outlets in NL combined.

@joepie91 @aurynn well, admittedly the same model won't work for all outlets - magazine vs. weekly vs. daily, national vs. neighbourhood, etc. but i think they could figure it out if they really put their minds to it.
