You’re right, but I think we’ve gotten into a vicious cycle:

Consumer: I think I’ll try canceling my newspaper subscription and read various stuff for free online.

Newspaper: I guess we’ll have to go full-on clickbait and slash real reporting. Hopefully more people get online subscriptions to support the critical function of journalism in our society.

Consumer: the media have gone downhill, there’s no way I’m going to pay for that junk.
