It's Ads or Paywalls, but it's not Paywalls or Bypass, you can choose both. Since micropayments are not here yet, and most of us can't afford subscriptions to every single site, an approach is to just choose a few you can afford, and bypass the paywalls of the rest.
I know this is unacceptable to those who have a moral opposition to accessing content without accepting the rules, but to those who are just concerned about funding journalism, this approach is essentially equivalent to not bypassing paywalls.
Also, there's a problem with paywalls, which is the enhanced tracking (by subscribing, you're giving them an excellent profile to attach to their analytics). Some people might therefore prefer to use a Bypasser even if they are subscribed.
