Facebook aims to CHARGE YOU A FEE, for reading news articles LOL

Just when you thought Facebook couldn't get any more lame....

Now they are searching for a way for news media outlets to charge readers for articles they share and read on the platform.

The Associated Press did an article on this and it's everywhere....just Google it.

Some say that this will cause sensationalized journalism....I believe we've already got that.

More click bate titles to get you to open up the article just to charge you for it.

Many say that the news is already fake and no one pays for the news anymore.

I agree 100%.

The sad thing is that many of Facebook's users may end up actually buying into this scheme because they don't know any better.

I'm glad I won't be one of them.

I believe this mistake will only drive more users to Steemit and other social networks.

Cheers! To all Steemians who will most likely benefit from this greediness.

What do you guys think about this? Do you also think this is laughable? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Sort:  

facebook is for neanderthals and grandmas. Use steemit, enrich yourself, not zuckerberg.

Keep it up Zuckerberg. You are systematical destroying your media platform. To the benefit of us. In years to come Steemit WILL be top dog.

...screw farcebook. They are going the way of the Dodo.

Haha I know.. Zuckerberg=Homo Erectus

After all, I do have much to be thankful for due to Facebook, in all fairness. So Thank you Mark Z...
