Time limited exclusive content on puff pieces just isnt a priority for me.
I mean, wired is given ng the content away free. I don't have a "human right" to read this.
Is it a slippery slope? Perhaps. What if real news gets walled off like this? US presidential debates being on cable only (or TV only for cord cutters) seems a bigger problem to me.
There's a lot of nuance to this issue, but I lean towards wired being fine. Though, I don't think the headline should have been displayed on the main page of non apple news devices, I don't know if it was. We all got there via a hacker news direct link.
It was listed at the top of Wired.com for regular web browsers earlier today, in their Latest News column. It now appears to have been pulled from that section, even if you click through to the archives.
The comments you are replying to were not complaining that wired chose to make the news only available via apple news.
They were complaining that they still posted the article, sans content, on the web, and suggested that should be punished for diluting web content. (they appear to have since removed that web-based article)
I think US Presidential debates are actually trending towards streaming. As I remember the last presidential debate in 2012 was on YouTube streaming and CNN recently streamed their Republican Primary debates to anyone in the US. I hope other networks follow this trend for the upcoming election season.
