And people will bitch and moan about a paywall.

The problem with paywalled isn't an unwillingness to pay for quality, its being attacked with a subscription when we don't want to be locked into a single source. Today I want a good article on popular particle physics, tomorrow I want to know whats going on with education in Nigeria. Let me make a quick crypto micropayment with no fuss and I'll read your article, try to make me a lifelong subscriber and get fucked.
