Because like it or not, actually paying for stuff is the only way to save journalism and by extension our democracies.

The alternative is to link shitty clickbait / AI spam. At least this way:

1. People might be encouraged to pay for journalism.
2. There are many ways to bypass the paywall for those who won’t or can’t pay.

Please don’t ban paywalls.

At least you aren’t going to die becoming a southern belle.

Kind of surprised no one has mentioned it… But kids. Kids bring a lot of happiness.
