    I’m happy I stopped using facebook. I only use messanger now and never facebook. I hate that shit like a disease.

      I wish I could stop, but my small family is spread out all over the globe and I just have no other way to stay in touch with them. This includes my brother, who seems to want to communicate with the family via Facebook.

        That is the main reason I still have an account but I seldom use it for anything other than messanger… I was planning on deleting my facebook account and make a new one but that plan changed.

    Free speech (Newspeak): The right of the privileged to defame and call slurs the lesser ones without any consequences, including criticism.

      wow that is an obtuse comparison

      that is like claiming the grocery store is stealing from you for charging for goods.

        What do you mean? They’re literally restricting random link clickers from reading their articles

        Oh, I’d also say that 404 media deserves to burn down for being dicks

          If you were determined to read this article for free, I’m certain there is a way.

          That being said, I don’t think the issue here is with 404 Media. The majority of news sites operate this way - if people are given the option to donate, 99.9% of them just won’t. Whoever is researching and writing these articles (a team of 4 people by the sounds of it) likely need to eat and pay rent. Personally I feel better about not paying for something like NYT or Washington Post than I do for a smaller and apparently less corrupt site like 404.

            This is a free article. They require an account on the site to read even the free articles, and that’s just plain bullshit

    Stupid people downvote people who comment about not liking the book of faces. The many-faced god demands it.
