This is not journalism, but clickbaitism! All the tricks new "media" does today are just disgusting. Breaking things into pages to increase page views and stuff, stupid ads all over the place especially inline to make you click by mistake and so on. I don't mind pay walls if they have some sane model. Unfortunately, none of us have made a good-enough startup to give a better experience for those willing to pay. I don't mind paying $0.25 per good article, but I don't want to deal with any of the tricks - ads, suppressing outbound links, stupid carousels with a new pageview, etc. Give me a better experience and I will open my wallet for you! Otherwise, thanks, but no thanks!
