The ideal solution would be broad syndication for textual content. Just as YouTube is a broad syndication of video content.

Then that textual content would be locked behind paywalls and subscribers would pay a monthly fee to access vast quantities of high quality textual content without ads. Authors would get decently paid if they have the audience.

Cheapskates would be stuck in the swamp with ads, scammers and AI slop, until they pony up.

Medium?

Yes, but much broader. Subscribing to a textual content syndicate should be as obvious as subscribing to Spotify or Netflix. Meaning, you should be able to find high quality stuff to read within your subscription, no matter what you're looking for: news, message boards, instructions, articles, etc.
