This one is also quite helpful:

... for all of the folks out there who don't have a university picking up the tab for the articles that they want to read.

It's important to remember that paywalls disproportionately impact those who are not "working" in an academic setting.

And evading paywalls disproportionately impacts the journalists creating the stories you seem to value, though for some reason refuse to pay for.

Do you think that people reading newspapers for free at the library negatively impacts journalists?

The average value I glean from an average article is less than if I had stared at a wall instead. I'll gladly pay a modest sum for a consistently high quality long form news service. However, everyone I've found is asking hundreds- thousands/yr which is neither modest nor affordable for most people, myself included.

NYT, wapo, BBC, fox, CNN, etc all push out tonnes of clickbait garbage every day. If that's not making them enough money then maybe they should get back to investigative journalism. I want long, painstakingly neutral, well researched, and cited articles on topics that concern me. E.g. healthcare, economics, politics. I find more value from the participants in discussion boards I frequent than just about every article I read. Sure, there's a few that provide more value than the participants like the work out of the ICIJ, but they don't hide their work behind paywalls, have ads, or run clickbait, and yet somehow they remain solvent... Hmm...
