It’s not just clickbait though. If the US wants a war, chances are most mainstream news organizations will all agree. If the US wants to expand the surveillance state, most mainstream news will tell us why it’s necessary. If the US wants to deregulate, most mainstream news will tell us how that regulation was actually hurting the economy.

I’m tired of the “good news is worth paying for” argument. I don’t disagree with that idea, but I think it’s time for a lot of the mainstream news organizations that people suggest I pay for to die. They had their time, things have changed, and they are failing to adapt. Let’s try something new.

Wait...so news orgs are bad but good enough to read if it's free?

If they truly are bad you need a site blocker, not a paywall bypasser.

Trying something new would be starting up a news org, not coding a paywall bypasser.

People should just admit that they are cheap.
