Giving them the benefit of the doubt. Great meta comment. Next time add an archive.is link too.
I read a dozen sites on the internet, a dozen newspapers. I can't afford to pay a $10 monthly subscription fee to all of them so in the end I end up paying nothing to any of them.
If, however, I could pay a reasonable monthly fee which would give me access to all of the newspapers I read then I would do it. It's easier than getting around adblock or searching for open alternatives.
I just picked 2-3 publications I really like and I subscribe to those. I'm not paying for everything, but I am paying for some.
