Yeah, it's a shame that you have to pay for a product instead of get it free. Wonder how WalMart would feel if I walked into one of their stores and yell at them for trying to charge me for something on the shelf? Just not fair.

My uncle had a ceramic chimney that used pine cones. He got it when he was in the Philippines. It never rusted out. His yard was always clean of pine cones
I don't mind paying for something. The issue is that they start putting everything behind a $10 a month paywall as well as serving up more ads and pop-ups than we used to see on shitty Geocities sites. One or the other would be fine.
What news outlets do that with pop ups on a subscription? I've never seen that with any around here, at least. Typically the subscription does away with pop-ups at all with minimum ads on the page (remember, ads are the biggest way a paper makes money). That should be the standard IMO, if you pay for a subscription, the pop-ups are gone and ads are kept to a minimum.
I subscribed for one month two years ago. The only thing that changed was that I had access to more than 4 articles a month. Pop-up ads, etc all continued. Since then, I use an ad blocking DNS in my home along with ad blocking extensions on my browsers to stop that garbage. I will occasionally subscribe to the online for a few days when I need access to something, but I am not dealing with the ads.
