    It literally would have been easier to make an account than to type up this comment.

    I get that people are jaded by the modern internet being so full of bullshit, with pop-ups or restrictions that want you to enter your email being one prime example. But subscribing or giving money to people who are making real good news is not bullshit.

    If you want a real somewhat-more-reasonable solution as opposed to subscribing to 20 different news sources (which issue I can also understand), you can subscribe to a couple of ones from rss.ponder.cat (whether or not they have a paywall), pay them, and then get stories from them and from the rest of Lemmy and be free of the paywall in both locations.

      Not necessarily. Avoid making assumptions about those whose threat model and precautions you know little about.
