This is a dilemma I grapple with regularly. People need to be paid for the things of value they produce, but it's hard to me to find things that are valuable, and then pay for them. I do subscribe to things, and I make regular contributions to a few people and organisations, but it creates an echo chamber.
This is a hard problem to solve ... I wish I could see a way to make things better.

Well, in 90% of the cases, outline.com helps. I am actually astonished that it isn't more well known.

Yes, there are ways of getting around the blocks (and thank you for this one) but it still leaves the larger problem unsolved. I'd be happy to pay for things I find valuable, but there's no way to find them easily, and having found them, no way to pay confidently, certain that (a) the money goes to the people dong the work, and (b) you don't then get harassed endlessly.

Ublock Origin + pausing JS (they reset scrolling) does the trick
I agree, it would be nice to have micropayments.
At the same time, if they want to be indexed (which increases their reach) they need to publish the entire article and then try to trick people in the browser with JS.

#6It reminds me of that documentary "The Red Pill" in which an ex-feminist turned into a Men Right's activist after looking at the data.
It's good sign that someone on the school side recognise the damage happening.
Still, she holds ridiculous beliefs that make me think the problem will never be solved by schools who have staff that is uniquely biased in one direction and can't even realise their bias.
How can you even think that "Believe the woman" is a good starting point? Imagine if the gender were reversed and it was "Believe the man", how outraged would people be?
In our justice system, people are innocent until proven guilty.
Sure, this makes it harder to catch perpetrators but it limits innocent people from being trapped and blackmailed.
It's funny how she criticises people who feel like feminists hate all men and then proceed to do the same thing by saying that MRA groups contribute to a culture of misogyny. There are surely fringe hateful people in both groups: you can easily find misandrist feminists and misogynist men right's activists.

Thanks for the reply, but you're assuming I know something about using the web console. I effectively know nothing about web technologies.
And to be honest, while it would be nice to know about such things, I really don't have the time to start learning about them. I have no intrinsic interest in them, and the benefits would be minimal. I have other things to stretch me, other things that I want to learn, and other things that I need to learn.

Archive.is; if I ran a site like HN I would put every paywalled article through it.

> I have more than enough to read, things that I know are of direct value to me ... I'm not going to sign up so I can read something "on spec".
This isn’t the solution you want but it is the obvious solution.
Don’t sign up and don’t read it! Don’t use “hacks” and “cheats” to get around paywalls.

#10Capitalism is on its last legs so it is doing whatever it can to sow divisions. That's what this "overcorrection" is about: taking justified grievances and real social problems (e.g., campus rape, racial injustice) and turning them into political wedges that turn working people against each other. Concern for the actual victims of injustice gets lost in the mudslinging.
The "Red" flavor is Trumpism (braindead white revanchism), the "Blue" flavor is ultra-woke virtue signaling, and they're both corporate-sponsored products designed to prevent working people from realizing that they have more in common-- including a shared justified animosity toward the corporate elite ("bourgeoisie")-- than apart.
