This is what I find so heartbreaking with the surge of news site paywalls. I'm all for paying journalists and understand the need for quality articles, but lately I've seen subscriptions on the order of $40/month for a single tech site! Good luck getting a nuanced, broad worldview covering all your interests with that. :( I can't spend $100+/month for a few news sites that aren't even distributed in print. The only way out of this for me is to simply keep using the free news sites.
