Murdoch Websites Will Lose 90% Traffic After Installing Paywall

[blenkarni]

Murdochs son is running things now and he is a marxist internationalist.

The internet was built on free foundations to share information. If you want to charge people for content then fuck off and do it offline.

[esathegreat]

Whats the name of the girl?

[andrecr7]

its not people's fault if they are not using proper ways to monetize the site. they mentioned about CPA, which is a very powerful method to earn money online, however if they cant even make thousands of profit per month, surely they are doing something wrong.

[thesecretabundance]

Paying for information and news is entirely reasonable. Somebody somewhere has taken their personal time to research, write or record it. Its business. People need to earn an income. All these freeloaders wanting something for nothing should wake up...As for Murdoch. The real question is WHY has he been allowed to control so much news media? There should be laws against people like him.

Great Idea! Pay To Be Fed Murdock Lies and Right Wing American Propaganda

[MrSdat1000]

Gary Coleman Murdered, More on my Channel

[Chortleclips]

i'll never pay, i hope they crumble

[faniboz1]

goodbye The Times. information should be free.

[mcam51]

This Murdoch scumbag is trying to fleese the world.

[T1carus]

this is hilarious, you cant charge for news, it will filter through other means and hear say

[thechosenMOE]

fuck murdock and sky news

[BigCrookster]

@thechosenMOE

Well said!! Murdoch is a complete CUNT!!!

[Hypster123]

@thechosenMOE dont forget his other network over in the states, biased and pure propaganda.. fox news, lol

[uzmate]

ridiculous! paying for your own click, let the advertiser pay for us! fail you Murdoch!

[lavery]

wait a min, doesnt murdoch own sky? so why are they openly criticizing him?

[Hypster123]

@lavery to make it look like that the journalists are not puppets lol (even though they are)

[jackrandall]

You are idiotic to view Murdoch media when it was free.

[Hypster123]

@jackrandall hahaha, very true!

[sheishmaster]

Regardless if they start to charge or not, as always, there will be a website that will leak this information for free anyway so to be honest the only result of charging for websites like this is that they are indeed going to lose most of their traffic.

[phaseone86]

BBC wont be charging any time soon that's for sure, and pay for sky or daily mail? lol, if your mental, the internet belongs to the people, stop trying to squeeze money out of us in everything we do!

[GLeNss]

Murdoch is making such a fuss to make all over news sources jump into this. No one is going to fuckin pay to access your website, adjust to the market you miserable cunts

[munib1000]

The only thing I have a subscription to is a rapidshare account and thats all I willing to pay

[Fight4Privacy]

Online news channels need to make money.

[boomchilds]

Just go to the BBC instead.

[Zrix1000]

Freedom of the internet? It's about time people stop stealing from each other, making money because things aren't regulated. Murdoch is heading into the right direction. The wild west era of the internet has ended. Time to talk business and if that means less people use it then so be it.

[hubbardproductions]

once the information is priced, then anyone who republishes the articles on the net will probably be pursued by Murdoch to have their website shuts down, Stifling freedom of the internet is the ultimate aim of this move.

[hamza1991]

how stupid are these people? who the fuck will buy newspapers on the net? some sad fucking low lives

[prawntalk]

haha no one is gonna buy news from the web get a life

[up2trix]

@014RED hear hear. fuck rupert murdoch.

[up2trix]

good. less people visiting stupid murdoch controlled media outlets will be good for the world.

[sideyone1]

As an aspiring journalist I'm eager to see whether this works. It's a difficult trade to get into these days as news is generally accepted as being easily accessible and of course, free. Whilst that is great for the consumer it isn't so good for those who make a living out of news.

[masterzeek]

Jeff you research is SPOT ON people who use the internet want things free. pirate games/movies/music. a pay newspaper web site has no chance

[Meashisgod]

@014RED dont ever read a newspaper, dont ever watch the news. You will be told everything someone else knows and believes one word from anothers word. Get a grip, also the bbc are not brilliant, they rip us off for watching the bulls**t they broadcast through tv liceneces which IMO is a waste of fking decent money! Fuck my government, f*k my country. Were now worse than the rest of the world. (I honestly used to be patriotic, all im going for is the world cup now but wer already fked their.....)

[dannyjar100]

What idiot would pay when you can get equally adequate content in all corners of the web.

DO NOT pay this subscription, if it is successful (which is unlikely) more organisations will follow and charge for web content and then you're on the road of places like youtube etc following suit. Fuck that.

[DudeSpectre]

Brilliant, great idea Murdoch, you tit!

It seems like he is trying to make it so that in order to new informed and kept up to date on current affairs you have to have to be willing to pay? So only those with the money will be told about whats going on, while the masses sit by idle?

Brilliant idea, seriously, fuckwit.

[madpigfreedom]

10% of all internet uses are idiots.

[toddyboy2k7]

You idiot... We already pay over £150 a year for BBC news and all that shit so shut your mouth u mongrel.... BBC sucks ass and shudnt be allowed to force you to pay thy money even if u don't want to watch that Channel!!!!!!!! Scumbags!!!

[DNO221]

@toddyboy2k7 bbc is good, there website is a reliable source for news/sports ect, iplayer is cool too, no ads aswell what more do you want? :]

[NAEIRNBRUFORU]

@DNO221 I agree the BBC is a good source of information and good tv but c'mon not everyone may like the BBC and they shouldn't have to pay for something they do not wish to watch. It is stupid. 150 a year ?? No just stupid considering all the competition out there now of days. I wouldn't mind BBC having adds. I have a sky player so i could fast forward ;)

[jumpingjesusholycow]

BBC News website FTW.

Fuck paying for news ONLINE >_<
