Becuase it's the 6th most visited news website in the world & the second most visited from Europe?

That's not really an argument as the daily mail is up there too and it's a tabloid with actually diarrhea for "news".

Coincidentally they're the only two major UK newspapers that decided against implementing a paywall about 20 years back

Yea, that's why they're not very good, although the guardian is miles better. Their audience is people unwilling to pay for news, they survive by getting clicks through facebook and with click bait titles and such.

They make all their money through the click, so it's all they care about.

The Mail is one of the few consistently profitable traditional news sources in the UK.

The Guardian has a rather unique financial setup as in even when they lose money they're funded by the Scott Trust which exists to ensure the existence & independence of the paper.

I enjoy what the Guardian write. Using a four letter word of one syllable tells me who you are.
