xsoldier54 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Would appreciate if the moderators would post articles from other publications that do not require you to pay to read them. There are plenty of other sources for Bills related material besides the Buffalo News. I can't read 99% of the articles on the page because you have to subscribe in order to read them. If the Buffalo News wants to require a subscription to read their material, then that's fine, it's their newspaper and their right. I just would like to continue to read articles on Two Bills Drive without having to pay to do so. Anyone else feel the same way? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 We have had this discussion before. The responsibility is on you to not read the article or just pay the money. It's not much to begin with. So quit yer fussin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenny3000 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It is a very fair question. This site will just shrivel and die. Who's going to come to a website for free info that requires you to pay for said free info? Good luck twobillsdrive. It was a good run, I'll remember the laughs. This is beyond silly by the way. At least espn insider offers the entire sports world for a subscription price. You guys (twobillsdrive owners) are chumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 If you don't want to pay don't click. It's pretty simple. It is a very fair question. This site will just shrivel and die.

SDS Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 And what about the fans who subscribe to the Buffalo News? Should they not have their news aggregated? "99%"... Exaggeration doesn't help make your case. 99 articles out of 100 are not from the the Bills hometown newspaper. Telling me something that isn't true isn't the way to convince me of anything. I have clearly indicated which articles are from the News and which ones are not by the lock icon preceding the titles. If anything, you are getting some paid content for free in the quote we provide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, some people link to paid articles, some link to non-paid articles - just don't click on the pay to play links. Not that hard... But furthermore, what makes TBD awesome is all of the Bills conversation OUTSIDE of the media. This place has been around long before linking to every article or tweet was popular and will be around after - it's about the community, not just a convenient place to find links to news sources.

They don't need this one to do so. This is supposed to be a free site. Did it cost you money to post this? Did it cost you money to go to the main page? Do you think SDS gets the subscription fee? Sometimes I WISH this site DID cost money. It would have saved this site when BBMB was shut down. This is my homepage on my mobile phone and I spend way more time on these boards than anywhere else on the internet. My cost? FREE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
