why did you even put this in quotes?

IDK, it's early morning and I felt like it was an established term. I'm sure I was thinking something, but I can't reconstruct just what. I'll fix that.

I have a personal distaste for login-walls. I'm fine with disabling my adblocker for sites I trust and enjoy, but I just don't like walled-off content. I'm doing my best to avoid tracking cookies, including manually going through the cookie settings on those notifications and clearing cookies on sites I don't need to stay logged in on. Courtesy of GDPR and judging by the variety of irrelevant ads I do get, I like to think I'm doing a mostly solid job.

Nobody has a personal taste for parting with their money. The question is whether you care about the quality of media that’s available or are content to live on sensationalist headlines forever. Here’s your cue to cherry-pick some complaints about times the NYT did something wrong. I’ll add that to the list of excuses for why you won’t support journalists alongside your “privacy concerns” and personal distaste for paywalls. I think it’s funny when people believe that the lane excuses they tell themselves make for a convincing argument to others.
