In Firefox, you can read NY Times if you hit reader view as soon as the icon appears.
That works for many paywalled sites.

Nowhere in his list of complaints is it that companies charge for content that they produce or publish.

#5> In my view, governments should impose an immediate ban on targeted political advertising to restore trust in our public discourse.
I hope this happens really quickly. It’s truly critically important.

#7Kind of astonishing that a person that "invented the internet" doesn't really understand what he's proposing in terms of global and cultural impact.
I guess i'll blame it on the age:with time,we're losing perspective and assume the world is as nice and kinder just like "when we were young".(which is almost never the case,because with more people the number of conflicts towards the highest levels of our pyramidal society increases)
His intentions are well-intended,no doubt, but the proposed solution(s) really make me scratch my head
>The web needs radical intervention from all those who have power over its future: governments that can legislate and regulate; companies that design products; civil society groups and activists who hold the powerful to account; and every single web user who interacts with others online.
Out of all these 4 "entities",only 2 need to arguably "radically intervene", and those are neither the gov. nor the companies,because since ~94(US) and ~2007(worldwide), companies are the ones that mostly shaped the internet in the form that it has today.(which i'm gonna personally claim is not a very good one,at least for the future people that "join" it.) For about ~5 years we're in the big struggle for control over it by the governments,and once again(if one makes the analogy of how societies have almost always operated in the past), the "state" and the "nobility"(in this case the companies) are fighting themselves at the expense of the people.
Besides all of this,which i think the author could have expanded on,it really can't stop occurring to me how one of the "inventors" of the internet publishes an article on NYT.

I don't think making everything free would make the www better. In fact it had been proven wrong at this point
