I am fine with other companies facing public backlash for their actions just like Facebook is now if they are doing things as shady as Facebook.
I would pay money to The NY Times but the last time I did, they required me to call to cancel and it felt really shady so I won’t pay them until this is fixed and publicized.
The rest fall into 2 categories: sites that I would pay for but that are asking too much (any site asking for as much or more than NY Times is delusional) and sites that are just not worth any amount of money. For the former I sometimes feel like I am missing out on content when I hit their paywall, for the latter I just move on without feeling like I missed out on anything other than the few seconds it took to click back.
Without the possibility of trying this my options would probably be dying slowly over the next couple of years or doing a very risky surgery that involves opening up my abdomen, cutting out as much of the disease as they can see and flooding the cavity with broad spectrum chemo (HIPEC.) Obviously, immunotherapy is much more palatable as the chemo was not pleasant.
Overall I am hopeful. I guess I don't really have a reason to post any of this, other than it helps to get it out there, so please excuse my rambling! And thanks for reading.

But perhaps it is better to deal with at a lower level, like on the firewall. Any advice would be welcome.
I mean one of their own talking heads was campaigning for Trump/GOP last night. So I am not sure what this is all about, and why it’s even posted. I, along with most people here are not going to click a link to foxnews.com.
If this idea has any merit, someone should post it somewhere that is not on a garbage site like foxnews, dailycaller, breitbart, etc. Because I am not going to give those sites the clicks.
And for the record I would feel the same way if it was posted on the liberal equivalents: shareblue, etc.
This topic has been discussed here before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13430108
That comes across as a much more open minded discussion, and far less biased.
My counterpoint is that the majority of content out there does not deserve any monetization, for example: the associated article.
Sounds neat though!
