Yeah, but Meta wasn’t willing to pay for it.

Why should power-hungry Zuck get everything for free when YouTube, for example, is giving everyone a cut?

Well, maybe he shouldn’t but it seems he’d rather not deal with this problem at all and now we have the status quo. That has to be a situation you’re willing to accept, unless you’re saying Facebook should be forced to allow news, and be forced to pay for it.

Sorry, I don't see how this contradicts the idea that the media don't like the current situation.
