        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.

            I’m not experiencing any cognitive dissonance. I said what I meant.

          Ads that pay enough are quite terrible for privacy though and why should manipulative ads be the only way you are allowed to finance your news? Plus the fact that a lot of people use adblockers (me included)

          I agree that paywalls are annoying I also like free stuff, but crying about it like they did is just so entitled.

            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?

              25 USD? I pay 3 USD EUR for their everything included tier.

              The question is if a service should be priced for those that very rarely use it.

              No other subscription is priced in a way that assumes that you will use it once a month.

              You can also read like 5 articles a month for free if you registered.

              Btw New York Times has a feature where any paid subscriber can “gift” an article to anybody so they can read it for free without registering or it counting toward the free limit. You can gift 10 articles every calendar month and there is seemingly no limit to how many can use one gift link. The links expire after 30 days though. Which I think is fair enough.

              I have already posted a gift link above if you want to read the article.

                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.

                  Yet you want ads lol.

                  Why would you pay full price? It’s way cheaper to find a good deal and then cancel after it runs out and then renew when they offer you the deal again, because they likely will.

                  If paywalls are just as bad as ads, I’m assuming you just want it for free.

                  Again, it’s just an entitled attitude.
