SDS Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 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. Given that you have no idea what my daily traffic is, I'm just going to say I hope you enjoy the view from top of the Mount. And once again, people who subscribe to the BN deserve to have their news aggregated just as much as anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONE-THOUSAND ARTICLES. One subscriber replaces a HELL of alot of free readers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAZ Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I cant believe people are complaining about $3 a month. Same people who want a new stadium but dont want to pay higher ticket prices.

Retselpais Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I agree! This is supposed to be a free site. If the Buffalo News wants to charge they should go to their site. Or better still , sell some advertising on this site so that the ad money can pay for the articles. Charging the readers is wrong. Unless the owners of this board are getting a kick back.

Augie Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 So what's the big deal with just not clicking? I really don't get it. If I don't want to subscribe (I'm not in WNY anymore and I find enough Bills info from other sources), I just don't click. I find it pretty easy.

You still get the same access if you don't kick in, but many people gladly do it. And I'd gladly do that here. I find value here, and it's no big deal.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I think it's just the hassle of having to sign up and pay money when most people are used to clicking and reading things for free. Paying subscriber fees and logging into sites can be annoying, especially If it happens multiple times. I just ignore the articles because they are not worth paying for. It does seem that a lot of articles on the top of the page are Buffalo News links, but truthfully the joy of twobillsdrive is chatting with the fans and connecting to Bills fans around the world who are passionate about our team. SDS deserves kudos for creating this site for all of us and providing us with a community of Bills fanatics who are as wild as this team. We take our lumps together. The Stadium Wall is the gold on this site. I used to love seeing all the Bills articles in one place. It was the Buffalo News in their dying way that needs to generate some revenue. If you find enough value in their articles, you have to pay. I think $0.99 would have been a better price point, since their writers are about as bad as CBSsportsline and ESPN. Anyway, I love hearing from the fans and not the mouthpiece media. You guys and gals all rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It costs money to run a newsroom. It's free to enter a coffee house. But you still have to pay five dollars for the latte.
