I started to notice that more sites are turning into paywalls, and I don’t like that and would prefer ads over subscriptions.

I am curious, what does the general community think about that?

    You realize that if newspapers offered a federated service (pay once, you get them all), they’d make money hand over fist?

    But noooo…each newspaper wants you to pay.

    I’d pay upwards of $20 a month if that guaranteed me access to the major newspapers (NYT, WaPo, LA Times, etc.) and my local one with one subscription.

        They do, I use it, and it’s local. National/international could have something similar, but don’t.
