I think it’s less the paywall for me and more the inconvenience of a million sign ins. Thinking @UnlockProtocol can help solve this. Online subscription bundling, sign-in less access.
people who complain about both paywalls *and* the quality of journalism, great points but do you hear yourself

Paywalls incentivize journalists to cater to the beliefs of their subscribers. E.g.:
@nytimes firing their Public Editor and getting rid of the role because now their audience is going to hold them accountable -
This implies the exact opposite relationship to the one you've described; paywalls cause bad journalism

it's like that old woody allen joke about two old women eating food at a resort in the catskills. one says: "this food is awful." and the second says: "yeah, and the portions are so small!"

paywalls/subscriptions are a shit tier business model. not really journalists fault in particular but the fact we haven't figured out ubiquitous microtransactions for online content has screwed over all sorts of content creation
