£2.99 to read what an illiterate journalist has read on Twitter? Haha, no thanks.

The MEN website is truly terrible. The thought that anyone would want to pay for the privilege of wading through it is laughable

Like all other regional newspapers and most of the nationals, they are desperate due to declining readership and advertising revenue.
Paywalls are very effective if you actually produce content that has value (See the FT, New York Times, etc) but who on earth is stupid enough to pay £3/mo for syndicated makeup reviews, celebrity gossip and poorly written nonsense from interns at Reach Plc?
Honestly they'd be better off just calling it a day and closing the whole enterprise.
All the good journalists they had have left, which says a lot.

£2.99 to read about what Molly-Mae is up to each day, absolute bargain.

It is a truly terrible virtually unuseable website and the clickbait content is diabolical. This company has made one blunder after another over past decades. There was a time when they could have monetised their content but they drove away their core audience. The rise of Manchester City was an incredible commercial opportunity but the MEN blew it by trying to pander to Man United fanboys in places like Singapore. Their business has failed during a time when their local area has grown faster than at any stage in its history. That takes a special kind of incompetence.The MEN website is truly terrible.

The amount of clickbait benefits articles they do is insane, they pretend it is to be helpful but it aimed at causing outrage.

Their website has always been shite, and the 'journalim' and reporting shoddy at best. A far cry from 30 years ago when it was a half decent newspaper.
The end is nigh, and good fucking riddance - long overdue.
