I don’t like paywalls as well, but in principle payed content is justified, and if one is willing to pay for relevant content, isn’t it better that Google allows one to find it? Maybe Google Search should have a switch “show only non-paywalled results” (paraphrased) (I’m sure they could figure out which content is paywalled if they wanted to), but personally I would probably still prefer seeing which sources exist even if they are paywalled.
