Oh no, we may have to go back to an Internet where people posted web pages because they wanted to share information rather than to make a buck.
Will we also have to go to a time where we'll have to buy physical newspapers so that journalists can make a living? Or do we expect them to also share information just for the sake of sharing information?
You don't need physical newspapers, but if you want good journalism you should definitely pay for your news.
The hard part is finding someone still doing good journalism that’s relevant. My local paper is long gone and the nearby major city newspaper is a shadow of its former illustrious self. I do pay a news aggregator but have no idea how much of that goes all the way back
