If there's anything I've noticed using Lemmy for news (before that I didn't really have a general news source) it's that the headline is always wrong, and the article almost always corrects it—but all of the comments are about always just people who read the headline and act as if it's gospel with even reading the article.
If the sites didn't put it all beyond pay walls it might remedy that problem a little bit. Force people to jump through hoops just to read shit journalism and they will do the easier thing: debate headlines.
