also feel free to comment your own suggestions for news sites for tech updates that don't pay wall on the web page.

New York times - https://www.nytimes.com/section/technology abc - https://abcnews.go.com/technology

the hill - https://thehill.com/policy/technology/ BBC news - https://www.bbc.com/news/technology

while nonprofit Npr doesn't pay wall, they have a new pop up that says something along the likes of "expected a paywall not our style please donate" that the user can dismiss and continue browsing the site. https://www.npr.org/sections/technology/

Reuters use to be a good source for me untill they started pay walling after a small amount of news article reads.

If content providers and content sindication web companies will become profitable, that means other companies will want a pie too and the new web sites will start to appear. Also, it means that there is a profitable niche in this particular kind of content type trafic. And so, anyone can start a website with that content small and try to grow. The more paywalls on old established ones, the better the chances of the new ones, (or for unpaywaled again, old ones) replacing them.
