When I was 13 I delivered newspapers, two of the people with subscriptions on my route, both >70 (not sure exact age), one asked me to take their bins out to the street once a week, the other wanted company and hoped I'd come in for a drink every time. They both offered to pay, my mum wouldn't let me accept money from them but I was still happy to go inside both of their houses each week to be friendly. I'm pretty sure I'd have said yes to hanging the front page every day for whatever was worth $5 of 2023 money back then a week extra!

Sure, most people wouldn't want that, and most people wouldn't want to spend $2500 getting a newspaper they'd already paying for to be hung on the wall. But that's not the same as "no you couldn't [do that at all]".
