Do you prefer ad-supported internet over paywalls?
- Macha 3y agoOver the nytimes "please sign up online but phone retention during business hours to cancel unless your jurisdiction makes that illegal" paywall at least.
- nickpeterson 3y agoThey really need to change the cancel process. It makes them seem like amateurs. I feel like Sirius radio and the nytimes are run by the same people, and if you’re the nytimes that’s a problem.
- Geezus_42 3y agoYes, I can block the ads.
- 12907835202 3y agoHow do you propose the research for these articles is funded?
- bloqs 3y agoIts a common naivete of older technical folk who are used to being in a "special category" of people who know what X tool is and how to use it. They view other people consuming adverts as the answer while they know how to get around them. Except that, now, Brave and similar poducts mean everyday users utilise these tools too, so no adverts get viewed. I think paywalling something but with a much lower on the spot cost, as an instant microtransaction without an account.
- dredmorbius 3y agoThere are, of course, more than two options.
- lelanthran 3y ago> Do you prefer ad-supported internet over paywalls? Does it matter? OP just wants a search results-set to not have content that he cannot access. This is perfectly reasonable: when I search for something it's pointless showing me a result that I cannot access.
