Because online journalism is journalism jr. and they can't be bothered to do basic research on their story.

anecdotally i've had this conversation with 3 people (engineers) at my work today.

One person asked 'Why are we paying for a subscription if it's not for the storage and processing?'

Another started talking about flock and ice right after.
