@JamesGleick pay walls are elitist bullshit. The money doesn't go to the authors who put in the work. They just stop people who can't afford paying being able to read the content.
It annoys me so much that the Guardian now forces subscription, in a time when we need free and accessible better journalism to counter how much misinformation is being spread, making it difficult and expensive to access and share their articles pushes people towards worse and worse sources.
