So I get ads are terrible, obviously. I run ad-blockers all the time. But people also get angry at paywalls. So that leaves me wondering, if not through ads or subscriptions, how is a news publisher supposed to sustain itself?

  • Idk but people seemed more okay with paying for a physical item… like newspapers, rather than just words on a page that they cant touch…

    I remember my dad used to read newspapers, now he just scrolls WeChat…

    (But then again the newspapers he used to read in China were all state-approved anyways… not really the beacon of truth…)
