You've been complaining about this for years now, have you still not read the FAQ for this site?

Sometimes people join a community and believe the rules are wrong and that they can convince others of it. (And sometimes they believe they shouldn't have to do the work to convince others.)

Is it paywalled? Not sure why I can access the article, then. (Firefox, Windows, uBlock Origin)

Do you have JavaScript off? That also works, as the article is hidden after it’s shown.

Some of us regretfully pay for the New Yorker.

No, I don’t only want personal blogs and content that’s supported by ads. And you should know how to bypass paywalls by now.

Doesn't matter. They're instututionally incapable to rising back to the art of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit", so it's all water under the bridge.

I'm not sure how people asking to be paid for their labour is against the virtue of a board run by a venture capitalist entity.

Not sure what you mean - capitalists famously hate paying for labor.

it sounds like we can't all agree, but frankly I also think the writing on the wall is that there won't be much out there that isn't paywalled, and much of that will have a bunch of ads.
