I dont disagree that getting paywalled sucks (and won't make any specific comments about The Atlantic) but the alternative is hypertargeted ads plastering every free pixel of the screen and invasive data-scraping.

It might just be a sign of getting older and managing my finances a bit better, but at this point in my life I don't really cry much when i see good content put behind a paywall (again, no comments about *The Atlantic).

Paid subscription and you still shove ads at me? Fuck off.

Your best bet is to ask owners' groups for each phone you're considering for reviews and buying advice and weighing that yourself.

You're right, I was thinking of Alixpress and TaoBao being two front ends for Alibaba
