News websites wanting to charge you money in order to read their articles. 💵
IT’S A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT FOR F*CKS SAKE!!
Edit: I’ve seen some people have commented about other stuff that really grinds their gears. Just wanted to say, go ahead and take it out. 👍

You want free news? You get ai generated articles which cover the basics… hopefully.
You want good news? You have to pay.
So… Which news website has good news again?
I’d say, a combination of publicly funded news sources, like bbc, pbs and reuters. Which are free sources, so that kindof disproves my point, but these do mostly cover the basics. Local news or news about stuff you’re interested in, is usually not covered there.
Most of them will just put up a soft-paywall, which are rather easy to get around. Sometimes as easy as clearing your cookies (or using an incognito tab).
That hasn’t been my case sadly :(
It depends on the site but there’s a few different ways to get around it. For example I didn’t even realize business insider had a paywall because somehow my AdBlock removes it. Some websites work with 12ft.io but lots block it now. If it’s one of the websites that give a limited amount of free articles open it in private browsing mode. And for others archive links seem to work.
