Do you purchase subscriptions to news websites, or do you follow the archive.is links on HN?
Of course I didn't purchase Overcast. There are better free alternatives.
- chipotle_coyote 7y agoYes, I do purchase subscriptions to news web sites occasionally, because I don't consider writers being paid to be intrinsically immoral. Given the choice to pay them with ads and pay them directly, I'll take the latter. I suppose "rely on other people seeing ads and/or paying for content to subsidize me" is also an option.
