You get the future you pay for!

  Maybe so, but the future we don't pay for is splogs, misleading websites, paid "astroturf" efforts, etc. I'd rather have the devil I know.

    I'd not like to see this response go unanswered; I'm the first to attack these organisations for the damage they do and I've long abandoned reading them, having written them off for the damage they've already done. But I can respect honest acknowledgement of the bad while arguing the good side is worth staying. You'll (obvs) have a better perspective as a subscriber and given you can approach the thing with nuance I'm willing to go with your take on it.

  And I guess you get a future full of clickbait in the race to the bottom that is journalism that no one pays for.
