      How do you think we should deal with this? I’ve been posting MSN links, since they’re readable without a paywall but the people still get paid, which sounds like a good compromise. I added the text indicating the original source since someone said something about it yesterday.

      I’m happy with posting the MSN links along with a link to the real article, if you want, but I’m also open to any way you want me to do it.

        .Thanks for asking, I wasn’t trying to be shitty about it. I think we should post the original since most people on Lemmy are familiar with archive.is if they really want to read it. It has the bonus of making it easier if things are being double posted as well since you’re great at posting. I’ve had to catch myself double posting a few times, lol.

            A good compromise might be to list the MSN link in the comments (*if you want to). That way, we won’t double post and as you said, they get paid.

              Something changed in how MSN works for me, just now. It used to give me the option to get the app, or click a less obtrusive button and expand the rest of the text. Now I can only get the app.

              I don’t want to be pointing people to MSN if it’s going to limit the text to try to get them to install an app. Is that something it does after you’ve read a certain number of articles by just expanding the text? Or do you even know?

                I have no idea. Do whatever you feel comfortable doing. As I said, people are pretty savvy if they really want to read an article from the main source. I think it’s cool that you still want them to be paid though. All in your court.
