That is just peeing in the pool. It's fine if only some of us do it (and I do as well) but it just leads to the death of free internet, and subscription models for all news sites. That might be fine for you, but don't think for a second that's not a privileged position, and if the internet moves behind a paywall that is a significant detriment to a massive class of people. Sure, your system works for you, but don't pretend like your solution scales.
