Walled, I’m not filling out a form to read this.
Thank you, internet.
The internet interprets paywalls as damage and routes around them
I definitely appreciate the cheats around paywalls and mostly avoid pay walled sites myself, but I do occasionally hope that there are enough patrons of the people reporting the news to ensure that we’re not just seeing the stories that one or two rich-ass benefactors (exagerated of course) are paying to see on their platforms.

Do you understand the history of newspapers? They were more biased in the past. William Randolph Hearst supposedly said: “You furnish the pictures and I’ll furnish the war.”
And those biases weren’t as obvious. At least now you can easily compare and read stories from different papers on the same subject.
A few free ways around paywalls, region-blocking, adblock-blocking, and URL glitches:
• archive.today
slow-loading, virtually unreadable without adblocker• Ghostarchive
poor layout, spotty uptime• Google Cache
frequently fails, but reliably captures video when it works• Internet Archive (Wayback Machine)
slow-loading, but works• One Foot Away
poor layout, quick-loading, spotty uptime• 12-Foor Ladder
poor layout, quick-loading, spotty uptime, blocks major newspapersIf there are other workarounds, please let me know.
Not worth reading. There’s no mention of a plan, just the usual “whoever raises more money usually wins” attitude.
And it’s a stupid headline anyway.
Well, it’s not quiet anymore if you make an article about it, is it?
And if there were an “ambush”… Well, the cat would be out of the bag since you told everyone, mister article writer.
