It’s called news syndication, papers use it to share knowledge that they themselves didn’t discover with others.

Reuters does apparently offer a content licensing service, so I suppose they could be using that.

Just because you only know western sources does not make everything else a scam.

I didn't call it a scam because I hadn't heard of it, I called it scammy because of the 'Disable Firefox Strict Mode' banner. Perhaps scammy was the wrong word, but going to a website I've never heard of to be badgered about foregoing my privacy and paying a subscription on content the website didn't even produce doesn't inspire trust. Also, just because a company is well established doesn't mean it can't be scammy, tabloids here in the UK have recently adopted a 'Reject & Pay' cookie policy that is straight up a scam.
