I'm going to be honest here. If you live in a poor country, sure go ahead and bypass the paywall. But if you can afford it buy the subscription. Real journalism actually takes time and money. Because otherwise news sites depend on ad revenue which then results in click bait journalism. There is no third option. Journalism, much like anything else, is not free.
What if, and this may be shocking to some, but what if you live in a rich country and you're dirt poor?
Do you have bootstraps?
Could you… by chance- pick yourself up by then?
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. I was chewing my avocado toast.
