Boomers who don't know what ad block is can subsidize everything. They already own 50% of all the wealth.

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.

It doesn't have the be different, it just has to be interesting so we can talk about it, right? Come on, it's Saturday, let's just discuss the thing based on its own merits.

A complicating factor: I think the people frustrated with Paywalls are often not browsing the website directly: A friend or relative sends you a link "hey check this out", or someone posts an article on a news aggregator site to spark discussion. You either hold the escape key after a refresh so you can chat with your mom about the article, or cut right to the comments section of the aggregator site and post something insightful based on the title.

I know this was tongue-in-cheek, but I see it as a time investment — or an opportunity cost. If you’ve got gobs of money and just want content now, maybe it’s not worth your time to stay on top of all this subversion technology.
