I don't mind paying for news, but almost all news websites would keep track of what I read if I do that, and it's easy to figure out a person's political biases from their reading habits.
- egonschiele 6y agoI'm curious, how do you get your news in a way that lets you bypass the tracking? Why not continue to get your news that way and just subscribe to ensure the news continues to exist?
- b215826 6y agoI mostly get my news through RSS feeds (I have a small Python script that makes use of readability-lxml to convert partial RSS feeds -- the kind that most news websites provide -- into full feeds).
- egonschiele 6y agoSounds like you can subscribe and support journalism and continue to use your RSS system.
- 0goel0 6y agoYou can continue that and pay for the publications. Those two work together.
