What did they expect when they introduced C18? Did they basically think they can just force the big techs to cave in?
We are not that big of a market in the grand scheme of things. And in this internet age where big techs dominate, it's the mainstream media who needs the big techs and not the other way around. They should be thankful that big techs aren't actually billing them to have all the links to their website.
I'd give another 6 month before these "mainstream media" cave in and sign contracts with Google, FB and whoever to have their content linked for free or maybe a symbol fee just to save face.
