Reading some of the comments on bot-posted articles to /c/AtlantaNews, I’m also reading some frustration regarding posts that link to paywalled sites/articles.
The paywall under question is primarily the Atlanta Journal Constitution ajc.com. I’m not inclined to circumvent the paywall and post the article text for various reasons.
However, going forward, I propose that links to paywalled articles will indicate as such in the article title, such as [$], so you won’t waste time clicking into an article you can’t read. And, I will try to curate more news sources that are not behind paywalls. If you have some sources you’d like me to include, feel free to reply to this thread, and I’d be glad to add.
Finally, all the news bots are currently posting to this single community. Maybe there should be multiple communities for different categories or sources of news? I don’t yet have any strong thoughts on this, but your thoughts and feedback are welcome and appreciated 🤗
