> Paywalls offend me. The Internet exists to share knowledge with everyone across the world. You shouldn’t need a subscription, all you should need is an internet connection to access the world’s knowledge. Then who the hell is going to pay for the people that write articles all day for you? What makes you entitled for free information? How will the writers pay their bills and raise their families? Either we can complain about advertisements or we can shut up and pay for things. Now that's off my chest, I think there should be a pooled version of news sites. One subscription to rule them all. No, not Apple news or Google news+ or whatever. Something that is sort of like Patreon but for news sites. I am totally happy to pay up to $20/month for them all. But I fundamentally and morally disagree with the author of this site. If they framed it as "No, we cannot have $120/month for 12 different news subscriptions, until that is resolved, we built a paywall solution". But, instead they feel entitled to access premium content that requires funding and financing to produce, for free.
