That's really a shame, since it was a good platform to keep up to date on certain news events.

Now that it requires login to see, that kills 99% of the stuff I'll be since I can't be assed to log in.

Also sucks for any scrapers, walled gardens hurt us all, limited access to knowledge hurts everyone.

Keep in mind that things, like Amber Alert, are behind a login now

I came across this problem with official evacuation alerts when a forest fire starting within city limits yesterday. No login? Gotta wait for the cops to come around I guess!
