So I get ads are terrible, obviously. I run ad-blockers all the time. But people also get angry at paywalls. So that leaves me wondering, if not through ads or subscriptions, how is a news publisher supposed to sustain itself?

Strong protections and regulations on what counts as 'news' and then offering subsidies paid for via taxes on Internet/cable TV/etc subscriptions to non-profit news outlets.

Of course that's near impossible and humanity would corrupt it eventually, so I don't know.
