Hey I enjoyed the internet much more when it was more open ended, and informative when ads funded websites and global news and encouraged pretty much open ended non censored reader comments. I felt journalism and site providers were being compensated and paid. Then things changed and everyone tried to protect their turf and protect themselves. The rationale could have been media protecting Biden. I like having free access to global news as it is informative to all.

Ive often thought we need a clearing house that might negotiate so as to allow users to opt in and get broad coverage for a flat rate. No one will subscibe for one article.

The problem today is big business is not content to just convince you to simply buy something. They want to spy, own, accumulate, and harvest everything about your life. They are already creating specific apps to aid and abet this process by demanding site specific apps rather than allowing access via generic browsers.
