Stop linking to Buffalo News aritcles

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?

 

 

how bout we continue to post articles from as many sources as possible.

 

you click on what you like or choose to.

 

if you don't want to "pay" for something...that's fine.....just don't take that option away from others.

I was not calling anyone specific out, just general comments to the poster about keeping quiet and not clicking the locked links. Why are you jumping to the conclusion I am calling SDS out? I was not aware of the location for site feedback however it is also important to note I am also not the one who posted the topic.

 

If there is a site feedback location it sounds as if TwoBillsDrive and I are on the same page. Where you are is anyone's guess.

Sorry. I thought I read how if you owned TBD you wouldnt be upset with consumer (freeloader) feedback. Which this owner clearly isnt. My bad.

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.

Id stick my head inside a pot of boiling water before Id subscribe to insider. ESPN can go pluck themselves.

This thread reminds me of a FB discussion in my town about the most popular street for Trick or Treating. It's gotten so big that it draws crowds from neighboring towns too. The street residents go all out to decorate and open up the homes (not just give out candy).

 

So somebody suggested a donation for the owners on the street, and sure enough there wasn't a shortage of indignation of how anyone could even suggest that. After all, people who live on that street can afford an extra bag or two of candy. Never mind that some houses go through thousands of treats on Halloween.

It always blows my mind that people who are getting stuff for free think they can then demand things. There is a place on this site were people can make suggestions for things they would like changed in the design. OP decided he would instead start a thread demanding things be changed because that's what he wants. He deserves the scorn he gets.

That's right and it's three dollars more than I am willing to pay on what is supposed to be a free site.

Who said that BN is supposed to be a free site? I know it used to be, but it's a newspaper. They're simply adapting to the times. How many people subscribe to actual newspapers every week? I'm sure it was probably twice as many people 10-15 years ago.

OP gets invited to people's home for dinner and then complains about the presentation of the meal.

 

If this thread is an example of the OP's general demeanor, I doubt he receives many invitations anywhere.

Nothing in life is free. The subscripton of three dollars might look small, but they get most of their real money from advertising. Posting so much of their content on one site is valuable and is worth a lot more to them than you would realize. I really enjoy the camaraderie on this forum, and what link us all is our love for all things bills. The front page could do with less content from the Buffalo news, because we know they are trying to sell subscription services for free. The fact that you the owner don't benefit from that makes it worse.

It's just such miserable behavior. It's not like the only links on the front page are from TBN, there are links to free articles. I don't understand taking the time to repeatedly complain about something you are receiving for free and then arguing with the person providing it to you. Also, I am super disappointed no one has taken a shot at the OP for misspelling the word "articles."

Its a free site, we don't get paid to be grammatically correct. If you want that service, that would be 3 dollars. Thank you

 

Bleh, that's a predictably uninspired attempt at humor. No one here is charging you a penny. You have a problem, complain to TBN. Send your complaints to: NoOneCares@PleaseGoSomewhereElse.com. Missed a period at the end there buddy.
