Forced? Give me a break.
The public has nothing but contempt for these self-proclaimed journalists. They do nothing but mold facts to paint narratives completely detached from reality. In this case they're pretending to be oppressed by their main competitor, one that was reportedly days from permanent shutdown at least a dozen times in 2023.
The alternative is they're too stupid to understand how they got a free subscription.
Either way, these journalists are the enemy of the people. It's unfortunately that I cannot legally say what should happen to them.
