I see an irony in the fact that I can't read this damn article without paying for yet another media / news subscription service. Stop linking to pay walls Lemmites!

If there just was a way to micro pay for a single article. But no, it always has to be subscription based.

Completely agree. Everyone despises crypto now, but it would be perfect for this.

They'd do it if it made them money. Spoiler Alert...

There's no real financial model to support good journalism. People should be aware of the food sites out there so they can make a decision to subscribe. Also, I hate the flood of trash articles that just link the pay walled articles and quote 2 sentences from it. At that point I'd rather a lemmy poster link the paywalled article and provide the choice quotes themselves in the comments to save me the ad fest and ad consent pop ups just to read 2 quotes and a bunch of fluff.
