@molly0xfff @zoug I thought about this a couple of years back and began subscribing to a few newspapers.
Someone needs to pay their salaries and I'd rather it's me than the journalists being forced to pander to advertisers or the whim of some sociopathic billionaire.
One tricky part is, there's interesting articles in so many newspapers that I only read once a month or once per quarter.
I haven't considered the relative inflation adjusted cost of a subscription, have they risen a lot? My thought has so far been that in the era of paper newspapers people subscribed to one newspaper and that was it. Now if I wanted to pay for all I want to read it'd be...a lot. Of course, reading all I wanted to read isn't a right.
