Gift articles previously were accessible just with the link. The latest article I attempted to read now requires me to first sign up

The article in question https://wapo.st/4fp62oH

I am well aware of many work arounds. The point of this post was to show wapo has changed the way gift articles work, which previously didn’t require a workaround

I don’t disagree, but ideally quality journalism should be treated as a public good, as it’s, well, a source of information about the world, an extention of education, you could say

A lot of European countries have tax-supported independent news organizations
