The internet is almost unrecognizable from what it was 20 years ago.

Profits run everything, and while I understand that, it does lend itself to a shitty experience for the user unless you pay for it.

To me it seems like the 2000s and 2010s when all those companies got massive and laid off middle management. Then those short sighted assholes got jobs elsewhere and poisoned those ponds.

Don’t bring logic here, this is reddit! Wait. Oh no. Seriously though, not all sites with pay walls are applying the pay wall to every article. Some charge for opinions and business gossip while leaving true news that affects everyone open

Ever notice how right-wing news is free but actual news you have to pay for.

Because making up stories is much easier than actual journalism.

Lmao, it’s so funny! We pay for made up things in the entertainment industry, but also pay for the truth in media. Ah, capitalism.

I literally don’t read any articles that force me to register. I feel like I’m going to become rather ignorant because of it, but I don’t want to participate in their schemes either.

Just add archive.today before the start of the URL

Companies (like the New York times) can pay 12ft.io to make them stop bypassing the paywall. archive.today doesn’t take that money

(12ft is still a viable backup if archive.today is broken for a site, though)

I use the Associated Press app. They have never asked me to pay and I don’t see stupid articles that are just links to Reddit or Cracked.

I still use Google news to follow some topics and it gathers articles from my local news sites, too. But any time if shows an article that prompts me to register to see it, I just go back to the Google news page and tell it to block that source.

You annoy me once and you disappear lol.
