We’re talking about paywalls for news articles. Libraries dont solve this problem.
Can libraries not get subscriptions to news services for public access?
Libraries are physical media. If you get public access to a newspaper, then one person can read it at a time. You also create a barrier for people to have to drive to a library, which might be closed, hope that nobody else checked out the thing, etc.
It’s not at all a solution.
Tell me you haven’t actually been to a library in the last 15 years without telling me.
Have you not heard of Libby? Of Overdrive? Next thing you’re gonna be telling me Libraries aren’t a solution because not everyone can use microfiche…
