      They already make money on the ads, and of course you have to make an account, so they sell your info… and then they fire the journalists… I would pay for a good source of real new that didn’t have ads and didn’t sell my info. But they don’t exist.

        I encountered many New York times articles behind a paywall. I was :o that this wasn’t behind a paywall for me.

        I use archive.md for paywalls.

        I hope the New York times doesn’t sell user data. If it does, public rage can move it from being 1 of the top news sites to the bottom.

          I don’t give a fuck. sell subscriptions, push ads, whatever. but if you deny access based on an ability to pay, what you have to say isn’t worth my time.

            I can’t believe you’re pushing that dumb take in the same comment that you’re suggesting the newspapers sell subscriptions. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

            The internet has made people feel very entitled to every form of content.

            If you feel these organizations and their posts aren’t worth your time, stop commenting on them like a smug edgelord without actual solutions.

              Many of these companies are asking for a substantially high price when someone may want to view an article as low as once or twice a month. NYT has a monthly cost of ~$25/month, is that a fair ask to read the odd article someone happens to post?

                  Their current “deal” is $1 a week billed at $4 every 4 weeks, their standard price is $25 for a 4 week period. You can verify this easily by checking their site.

                  I’m neither registering for them to harvest my personal data, nor paying them to do the same.

                  Paywalls are BS, and just as bad as ads on the internet. Even if they are “free” ways to get limited access.
