> but I'm saddened that many just use it as a hack to get around paywalls. I have yet to run into a single piece from any mainstream news outlet that deserves my money. I have happily paid for the Financial Times, for example, because they have significantly higher bars set for journalistic integrity. Reuters is another one. Pardon me if I don't cry that NYT, WaPo, Marketwatch, WSJ, Bloomberg, and all other OpEd-disguised-as-journalism vendors don't get my $0.001 worth of clicks.
