20 years of World Wide Web and we still don't have micropayments so we can just pay a penny to read an article. Why does it take us so long?
They want you to pay for all the articles, including the shitty ones, every month.
Doesn't work for most stuff anymore either. I've been using this after archive.ph became captcha hell and 12ft.io got blocked

30.

Exactly, just like I expect to get paid for my work. I want a simple way to pay for all the pay walls in aggregate so I'm not signing up for 27 different subscriptions and I read one article from each source. I'm not against paying, I'm against a huge pile of bullshit management.
How do you feel about Apple news, or similar aggregators?
lol what do people expect? You say you want a web without ads, now you want a web without paywalls. Sorry, but... pick one. Or watch as the internet collapses.

At least Google News and Artifact lets you block sources and with Artifact it understands paywalls, so stops recommending you posts after a while.
The one thing both of them are missing is the ability add a new source. E.g. if I stumble upon an interesting blog post or newsletter, let me add that blog to the mix, but use the same algorithm to incorporate the post intelligently into the algo feed.
