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.
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.
I always put the URL into the Wayback Machine on archive.org in these situations. 9 times out of 10 there’s an archived version of the article with no paywall.
I have a yearly subscription to WaPo for this reason. It's nice to have real news available without the hassle. Still have to deal with the nags on NYT, but one subscription is enough for me.
I swear there’s at least one of these ladies in every restaurant I’ve attended in recent memory. Now I’m going to be imagining what their salad just told them.
You’re gonna feel pretty silly when you find out that salads are notoriously bigoted assholes, and these women are monsters for laughing at their jokes
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
