I wish I could just pay per article sometimes. Let the subscription be optional for people who read a lot from that source.
News, and I would argue journalism in general, is not what the term knowledge is referring to in that sentence.

Probably a Capricorn 🙄
“democracy dies in darkness…”
Is my favorite ironic walled garden gate keeping paywall byline… I think the Washington post uses it.
It wouldn’t be so dark if the paywall wasn’t blocking the light…
Bypass Paywalls Clean will do the job for you.
Came here to post this
How long before this goes the way of 12ft.io
What’s wrong with 12ft?
I use it all the time and it’s great. I’m kind of wondering the same thing now…
Disabled on lots of sites now
A service to remove paywalls.As far as I remember,it doesn’t work with the NYT but does a good job with a bunch of other sites.
It’s the website I literally clicked to from the link in your comment. :D
Another paywall workaround
I fucking hate this bullshit!
We need a Netflix for online journalism/news. I’m happy to pay for my news… But I’m tired of subscriptions for everything. And basically all the major news organizations want their own damn subscriptions.
Check your local library. They usually have subscriptions for newspapers/magazines that you can access digitally with your library card.
Netflix for online journalism/news
So, like, regular removals of older material and ever increasing prices and restrictions? Oh, yeah, sign me up.
Bad comparison, since Netflix is just one of many streaming subscriptions now.
I meant like the early days.
Just download Firefox, install UBlock Origin, and disable JavaScript.
And if that fails, enable reader mode on top.

Once upon a time tabloids were a joke and everyone knew they were a joke.
And then one day tabloids just became news sources and everyone decided their publishings were journalism.
And people lost the distinction between tabloid and journalism, so when journalism now requests money to keep going, it gets scoffed at.
Literally a game of whack-a-mole regarding paywalls and adblockers.
I choose to believe the author did this intentionally.
Sort of feel that dream really went downhill fast the moment troll factories and Cambridge Analytica / Emerdata showed how much it could be milked and paved the way for the expansions on doing it.
Facts are behind a paywall and bullshit flows for free.
NYT has a lot of bullshit tbf
This is why we can’t have nice things.
There is a reason for it, isn’t there? Bullshit is motivated to manipulate, and spread propaganda. While, truth based journalism needs professionals to do due diligence. While we can argue for better journalism, wishing for everything to be free ain’t gonna work.
Unless we are okay with… Ads. We won’t tolerate that either, would we?
That was sad and infuriating. Pirates are our only hope.
