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?

This isn't about how the consumer can get paid content for free but about how the creator can sustain the production of that content when hardly anyone is willing to pay for it.

    Yeah sure I know, I'm just fooling around. Personally I think music played on the radio (any radio, even your homemade amateur radio) should be paid for not by the radio but the government.

    Maybe news could be financed similarly. But with no strings attached of course.
