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?

    Ads, because there are too many separate sites implementing paywalls, I don’t like any of them enough more than the others to subscribe.

    Reader supported without subscription model is my favorite though - I will and have thrown $5 to Wikipedia, the Guardian, etc. If there was some monthly umbrella one I might consider it, or a $0.25 pay per article but absolutely not $100 a year for one site absolutely no.

    Basically I think my overall budget for all sites would be sustainable at $10/month or so, sure. But not that much for ONE site, no.
