I was about to give in and actually pay for the subscription, but this is way too expensive just to read some news.

And who are the expecting to attend the quarterly symposium? Why not make a 1 or 2 euro a month subscription just to get the news.

I know you can go to incognito to get around the free access but it’s extra hassle when all i want is a quick read of current affairs.

Maltatoday it is for the time being.

  1. Old people.  And people who are gonna write this off.  Literally the only people who I would imagine pay for this.

    Well, that’s just weird. It seems to be saying that for the longer time period you choose, the more you pay! 🤔

  3. 33c a day is too much to be informed? No big fan of subscription models but I don’t think they can be faulted on cost.

  4. Journalism isn’t free. Actually proper journalism is very expensive.

    This is expensive but at the same time 1-2 euros is a joke and kinda entitled to expect bunch of people work for free because “news should be free’

    They have every right to charge as they please, but this will be their downfall. For everyone saying that journalism is expensive, etc, etc. I agree with you, but these same companies, make hundreds of thousands from advertisements, so if their statistics start dropping because people won’t give in and pay, their entire business model will fail.

  7. Arani gej. Kont ili nfittex biex inzid subscription ohra ma li diga ghandi… Huwa veru li il-gunalizmu u importanti u trid il-flus biex ikompli. imma dawn il-prezzijiet m’humiex realistici. There’s no need to go incognito to get the access to the article. just delete the ToM cookies and you’re good to go for at least one week. takes me 3 seconds to do it

    TOM just doesn’t worth this amount. Check for example WSJ or NyTimes way cheaper. I know I know it’s an island and overpopulation and traffic and every other excuse to justify the price.

    I wouldn’t mind paying if ToM still kept a standard.. Articles just parrot other news sites with worse grammar and I’m fed up of the clickbait titles.

    Some of the article authors must think they’re very smart but the articles are nowhere near what they were 10-15 years ago

  10. Just need a news to be paid by taxes tbh, same way brits had a TV tax back in the day to pay for BBC(though fact its still and no one actually uses TV anymore is silly).

    Either way ye fuck paying for news where they’re just giving you bullshit lies anyway.

    Fee is way too high especially when accumulated to the rest of things we pay monthly, such as internet, phone, streaming service, music service etc.

    More people would sub had the price been just 1 or 2 euro a month as is the case with some foreign news sites. In the end this is just a news website with ads. Its not like they have a news streaming channel with 24hr news and features.
