Just canceled by subscription because, um

DEMOCRACY FUCKING DIES IN FUCKING DARKNESS

thought that shit was a warning, not a business plan.

Silly me.

Sure would be a shame if the general public and subscribers of the LA Times and WaPo learned about having only to put 12ft.io/, or archive.is/ in front of paywalled article URLs in order to bypass the paywall very easily...

It was hard to take the WaPo seriously after Bezos bought it. It's just been a slower decline than Xitter.

If the remaining readers are questioning it, then maybe there's hope.

I subscribed for YEARS and cancelled that shit in 2016. It was obvious they stopped being a legitimate source of news then, but I'm happy people see it now too.
