Yes I do the same. Paying for news (NZZ in Switzerland) and avoiding sources that are incentivized to clickbait has made following the world something with a net positive for me again. It also had the strange effect of getting from being mildly offended by a clickbaity headline to feeling pity for those who had to go through the trouble of studying journalism and then being forced to write clickbaity garbage. What a waste. Still better than starving I guess.
