Newspapers are struggling to make money online, so paywalls make sense I get it.
But if your whole story is about a couple of tweets then that story does not belong behind a paywall. Here’s what inspired this post.

I do pay for a couple of online subscriptions, where the content is extraordinary, quality, original, researched and well-written. This story is none of those things, it’s a witty aside to the real news. Telegraph did not create the content, it’s not unique to them, they have no ownership rights to it, but feel entitled to put it behind a paywall. Just stop it.
