This is exactly what pushed me to get a Guardian subscription over a more local (U.S. based) paper (although I wish I could get the actual paper here too on more than just weekends).
Their website doesn't auto play video, I've never seen a modal, it looks okay everywhere and doesn't use too much unnecessary JavaScript that will only lead to broken menus or whatever on phones, when you have a subscription all ads go away, when you're not logged in there's no annoying paywall, and when they do ask for money it's a small banner at the bottom of articles that doesn't get in the way, doesn't cover content, etc. and to top it all off the frontend is on their GitHub account.
I wish other papers would follow this model.
