Used to be I could read NYT by opening the article in Private mode on FireFox, now I guess they can detect that so they said I could read the article if I logged in with an account, I logged in and nope "now please add a subscription"

Fuck journalism majors, absolutely cringe major. There is no expectation of fair and accurate news under a profit based system. Repeal the first amendment freedom of press. Return to Town Criers like Medieval times. I'm done

I don't think this will give the outcome you desire based on the rest of the post prior to this statement.

They are complicit, but perhaps you're on to something. First we gotta clean up these goddamn computer science majors.

Obliterating history, cookies, and LSOs when the browser closes is the better "incognito mode" anyway.

Never even thought about this before. Holy shit.
Curious how it's the "capitalist propaganda" sites that openly share their content, while the liberal utopian sites demand payment.

Well, apart from WSJ, but they're just a bag of dicks anyway.

The BBC is free to view though

The only one here that I think has a paywall is the Daily Telegraph (Conservative site)

An article with "facts" from public sources should be available at no charge.** However, "details" only available from private sources should have added compensation for creator(s).

** The greater public good always should be the first priority.
