Leroi Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 The more effective route would be to boycott Leroi... I would hate the boycott to spread to this site as well.... Imo
SDS Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Nothing in life is free. The subscripton of three dollars might look small, but they get most of their real money from advertising. Posting so much of their content on one site is valuable and is worth a lot more to them than you would realize. I really enjoy the camaraderie on this forum, and what link us all is our love for all things bills. The front page could do with less content from the Buffalo news, because we know they are trying to sell subscription services for free. The fact that you the owner don't benefit from that makes it worse. Given that you have no idea what my daily traffic is, I'm just going to say I hope you enjoy the view from top of the Mount. And once again, people who subscribe to the BN deserve to have their news aggregated just as much as anyone else.

The fact that you the owner don't benefit from that makes it worse. and just to educate yourself while sitting on the Mount... The Buffalo News probably makes $3 for every 1,000 articles you read. ONE-THOUSAND ARTICLES. One subscriber replaces a HELL of alot of free readers.
BillsfanAZ Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I cant believe people are complaining about $3 a month. Same people who want a new stadium but dont want to pay higher ticket prices. I subscribe and have no problem with it.
Retselpais Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I agree! This is supposed to be a free site. If the Buffalo News wants to charge they should go to their site. Or better still , sell some advertising on this site so that the ad money can pay for the articles. Charging the readers is wrong. Unless the owners of this board are getting a kick back. That's entirely possible.

ndirish1978 Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 On the plus side, one of the FREE features on this website is an "ignore" feature! I'm going to go through this thread and avail myself of it now!

How long until twobillsdrive starts charging to be a memeber and per post. Charge per level of membership. Its a slippery slope, not a good thing. Imo Edited October 19, 2017 by Leroi
Augie Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 So what's the big deal with just not clicking? I really don't get it. If I don't want to subscribe (I'm not in WNY anymore and I find enough Bills info from other sources), I just don't click. I find it pretty easy. But if it's helpful to those who do subscribe, I'm all for it.

Twobillsdrive USED to be a place where all Bills info and sources were combined; a one shop stop. Now, just a patsey to the buff News. Imo Edited October 19, 2017 by Leroi

Its a slippery slope, not a good thing. Imo On a related note, my college hoops board has an option to be a "Supporting Member" for very little (like $12/year to cover expenses). You still get the same access if you don't kick in, but many people gladly do it. And I'd gladly do that here. I find value here, and it's no big deal.
Gugny Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 If the entire front page is locked I will quit posting here. If it's not, will you? Or are you just so accustomed to making garbage up that you don't bother to look? Try scrolling down a little more.
