      No. I use pihole. Also, sometimes, some things actually have to be paid for.

        Not news. Information is a human right.

          I’d agree it should be. However, there is no government grant for journalism, and journalists have to eat. Either it’s free, and the journalists either don’t do the work or make it a hobby project (which means less quality) or they have to get paid somehow.

            The people writing articles and the people plastering ads in between every paragraph are not the same.

                Look up the fallacy fallacy and then look up irony.

                  Sure man, I’ll quote it for you even: “You presumed that because a claim has been poorly argued, or a fallacy has been made, that the claim itself must be wrong.”

                  I was not saying what you said must be wrong because you committed a fallacy. I was saying your argument was a fallacy and held no relevance.

                  Is claiming you’re right by saying someone committed the fallacy fallacy the fallacy fallacy fallacy?

          So how do you suggest the journalists pay their rent exactly?

            Journalists are not the ones putting ads on sites.

              You’re missing the point. Where do you think the money that the journalist need to pay for food should come from? Were you just about to sign up for a paid subscription?

            Is that what you say to everyone who demands a living wage, too?

              That is literally a point against your original point.
