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?

Aside from maybe my local paper which reports on things NOBODY else cares about, there is not one source that I would want to invest in like that.

Paywalls nudge people towards choosing one or two sources for all of their information. The more sources they pay for, the less value each one provides.

Diversity of information is better for society.
