It highlights a very real and very hard to solve problem with newspapers though.

I read a dozen sites on the internet, a dozen newspapers. I can't afford to pay a $10 monthly subscription fee to all of them so in the end I end up paying nothing to any of them.

If, however, I could pay a reasonable monthly fee which would give me access to all of the newspapers I read then I would do it. It's easier than getting around adblock or searching for open alternatives.

Lots of them are free with your library card. Plus, you don't need to subscribe to everything. Those dozen newspapers all cover the same stories for the most part, pick whichever one has the best writing on the topics you are most interested in and just stick with that.

Doesn't Apple news plus do that or something?

I just picked 2-3 publications I really like and I subscribe to those. I'm not paying for everything, but I am paying for some.
