Libraries are free.
And underfunded and steadily becoming fewer in number. Information should be free regardless of its source.
I recently read that there are more libraries than fats food restaurants (in the US), so seems like libraries are doing just fine.
Information, like everything, costs money. If you don't pay for journalism, someone will and they will control the information. That or garbage LLM generated sites riddled with malware.
Journalists are workers and deserve a living wage.
Yeah… we’re gonna need a source on that. In my small town there are zero libraries, and about 200 fast food joints. I’ve never lived in a city with more than a few libraries, and those with more than 1 are college towns.

Didn't you say there are more fast food restaurants than libraries? Less than 10% of the fast food restaurants where I live are McDonald's.
It seems to be McDonald's in particular.
So your first statement was wrong, then?
Which one?
Yeah, it was McDonald's, which is still impressive IMHO.
Way to move the goal posts.
How?
Recently read a reddit post from 6 years ago with a dead link but more than willing to cite it. Lmao
Yes, Information stays on the internet and you can read articles / posts that are old. Feel free to Google the numbers.
The burden of proof is on the claimant, not the skeptic. Do your research.
Yeah, I'm not that invested in convincing some rando online.
You mean, you looked and weren't able to find anything other than a rando on reddit to support your opinion.
edit: just google it bro
I looked and pasted the first Google result.
Your lazy ass seems to be struggling to (despite saying you didnt want to with a rando) support the opinion that there are more libraries in US than fast food restaurants. Fortunately for you, I am prepared to argue the opposite, because fucking obviously.
The number of fast food restaurants.
The number of libraries.
You should have tried (only just a very little bit!) harder.
Cool!
