also feel free to comment your own suggestions for news sites for tech updates that don’t pay wall on the web page.

while nonprofit Npr doesn’t pay wall, they have a new pop up that says something along the likes of “expected a paywall not our style please donate” that the user can dismiss and continue browsing the site. https://www.npr.org/sections/technology/

Reuters use to be a good source for me untill they started pay walling after a small amount of news article reads.

    I’m ok with scrolling past ads if they don’t obstruct my user experience. But if they pop up and move the page around, I’m out.

    I think that’s the main reason many people have add blockers… Everything is either invasive or being used to track us to generate more clickbait that shove even more ads into our faces.

      Pop ups are annoying on a traditional computer, but on touch interface devices they are pure evil.

      I have an adblocker because I don’t want to see any ads and these businesses are profitable whether I use one or not. Even if they aren’t charging for paywalls.

      It’s about maximizing profit, not keeping the lights on.
