BuffaloRush Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Nothing annoys me more than when I'm scanning through my Twitter TL and click an article with an interesting headline, only to get redirected to the Buffalo News site asking me to pay for a subscription to read it. I am sorry but I find the idea of paying for the Buffalo News' online coverage to be a tad bit excessive and it's something I'm not willing. Don't get me wrong - the BN Blitz team is fantastic with excellent writers like Vic Carucci, Tim Graham, Jay Skurski and yes everyone favorite Jerry Sullivan. But I don't feel that it's worth the $2.99/month that they are trying to charge. Maybe it's just me, but it annoys me when companies start charging for content that has always been free. Just my two cents - but curious to know what fellow Bills fans thinks. I will not pay the $2.99 a month and instead will rely on coverage from other media outlets.

Punt75 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I agree 100% !!! And, I feel the line-up of BN sports reports have very repetitive articles day after day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playoff Bound Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Reading about the Bills isn't worth $2.99 a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I’m seriously not being snarky with this, but maybe hang out and get the feel for a little bit before starting threads. This has been covered - A LOT. In several different places. But welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I’m being nicer than some of the guys will be as you’ll soon experience. Go Bills!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRush Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Thanks for your passive aggressive response. You would never be a McDermott guy. I did search the term "Buffalo News" and "$2.99" and SURPRISE....zero results were returned. So I started a new thread...sue me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just reading what takes place here for a bit would let you know that has been hashed out numerous times. We’ve had some people who only start new threads, and never go elsewhere because, well, if they didn’t start it what good could it be? A lot of little nuances in play here that will come with time.

BuffaloRush Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Nevermind I found it - TBD is taking a lot of heat for promoting TBN paid articles LOL Just now, Augie said: I’m not being nasty, I swear.

And because there are so many posters is the exact reason that it’s become something that is heavily self-policed. The mods are great, and will shut duplicates down in time, but it’s been an ongoing issue so pay attention and use search before starting anything. I’ve been around a while and can count on one hand the threads I’ve started. Someone has covered just about everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
