Just when you thought the gazette couldn't get any worse

The Gazette is a pile of w@nk but I never see any ads or intrusive videos on the rare occasions when I do visit their site.

No PC.

No PC.

PC went mad,, mate. It's all 'woke' round here these days. Try to keep up.

It's the same for the Manchester evening news. I ain't paying for their standard of supposed journalism.

So the website is awful but at least you can usually use the app to read it without getting ad spammed

Well they've obviously cottoned on and now some articles you can't even read without a premium subscription and you now get this

Ll be fooled if I am paying that

I read it on the Readly app. No ads and it’s the full newspaper as well. No limit to how much you can read.

They still employ journalists but they have to work from home and there are not many of them. You can count them on one hand.

That’s pushing the definition of “journalists” to its absolute limit - it’s all social media quotes and clickbait that a six year old could write

What frustrates me is the constant prompting to accept cookies and notifications. Select no and you can guarantee you'll be asked again shortly.

Don't exaggerate. A six year old is capable of using a spellchecker.

This must have just started, I read the Gazette online all the time and have never had that message.

I honestly can't see anyone subscribing to something so poorly written and whose main stories are The Best Local Chippy or Beautiful Village in 1hrs Drive of Teesside.

Or an article about a ‘local character’ when the subject is or was usually means out and out rogue who makes others lives a misery.

Its been a rag for years, most papers are nowadays! Ive just noticed an article on the Gazette website about a new restaurant and they've published a photo upside down!

What's the leading story for today? Photos from a nightclub in 1999 or the latest food challenge from Stockton's finest?

Nah they've gone for an old staple, an indecent exposure story.

If you are going to subscribe, the Yorkshire Post actually has good independent editorial and some decent writers. The only one I subscribe to now.
