I started to notice that more sites are turning into paywalls, and I don’t like that and would prefer ads over subscriptions.

I am curious, what does the general community think about that?

    Apple is worth THREE AND A HALF TRILLION DOLLARS!!!

    Say that again. Three and a half trillion dollars.

    They have cash-on-hand reserves of in excess of $60bn. They could give every single employee $200,000 and still have half of it in the bank.

    Tim Cook is a relative pauper in the CEO game, with a net worth upwards of two billion. He could personally pay a team of a three thousand reporters with full benefits and remain a billionaire.

    It’s not people refusing to pay for journalism, it’s robber barons refusing to pay journalists.
