Bro not to say this really applies to the NYT (probably one of the most establishment newspapers in existence), but if you want journalism you genuinely should pay for it.

Obviously paywalls are annoying and I'm not going to subscribe to every site I happen to click into, but I think we should be careful about normalizing this kind of behavior in a time when the industry is struggling as much as it is.


To be clear, journalism is also incredibly flawed and at times has been downright evil. But it's important to remember that journalists are basically the only ones who have an ethical/legal obligation to stick to a generally true retelling of events when addressing the public. 


Social media, especially sites like Twitter and Reddit, are massive drivers of misinformation because they have no such responsibility (at least in terms of the individuals using the platform excluding fringe cases.)

This. I’m a big fan of the paywall that kicks in after x views to keep the subscription needs sane. But pay for what you use regularly. The age of the internet has created the illusion that the hard work of many has no value.
