Anything Goes 42

However many hundreds of dollars they charge these days for the newspaper, it's still too much.

You can find better, higher quality, reporting for less (potentially for free) on the internet.

I do miss the days of being a kid, grabbing the sales paper before Black Friday and looking at the endless sale flyers. But that's the only thing I miss from newspapers.

I don’t even know how it started to get called AI. It isn’t AI at all. Maybe AI will happen someday but this isn’t it.

It’s not Artificial General Intelligence but the processes involved are still very impressive. It’s just being used for mundane, stupid things.

That writer should be fired. There are so many people that would kill for a journalism career opportunity and this lazy f*** is ChatGPTing his way through a fluff piece article.

This’ll be a real problem going forward and I’m sure this lazy mindset will win out unfortunately.

I think our mayor is getting indicted by the DOJ :laugh

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Yep

I just checked because that seemed insane and it was $156 for 52 weeks of 7 day delivery?

3 months $485 was last billing cycle. I was off a month.

 

[Mrfenn92]

It says $7/week on their website?

Understand that. That’s like a cable starting bill.

Understand that. That’s like a cable starting bill.

Ah, gotcha. Had no idea they raised rates like that on a regular basis to existing users. I don’t think in my entire life I’ve ever paid for a newspaper subscription for that matter.

Understand that. That’s like a cable starting bill.

Roughly $30 a day is nuts.

You’re telling me. Been a newspaper guy for 20 something years now. Always preferred actually papers then reading digital shit. f***s with my eyes too much now.

I’m just assuming it’s like that. Not gonna call and bitch just outright cancelled.

Hell of a way to treat long term, loyal customers.

 

[CallMeShaft]

If I needed them, I'd be stealing newspapers from my neighbors at these prices.

The Trib really wants to charge you about 8 bucks an issue? That's crazy!
