Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

I guess I should have specified it's not an indoor mall, apparently 'power center' is a more accurate term but I've never heard that before and will continue to call it a mall. The closest indoor mall to me closed about 6 months ago and was almost immediately filled with homeless people and teenagers setting things on fire.

Outdoor malls of one stripe or another predated the indoor ones and seem to have out-survived them. Possibly because they lack certain sorts of overhead the indoor ones had.
 

They said the same thing before news sites began going behind paywalls too.

That's not actually a good counterargument if you study how many news sites went hunder after paywalling. Its not an ecosystem that will support all that much overhead (not, mind you, that there's great alternatives since the other ones that survived did it by getting by on the cheap and throwing ads like crazy, but that's the gig--they still survived at least).

I will resort to the age old classic argument that wins every time. I am right and you are wrong. Drops Mic
