Most digital subscriptions to large news organizations are in the order of $5 - $10/month.
If you can't afford 16¢ a day, then you have bigger problems.
If you don't want to pay monthly because you find it inconvenient, well boo hoo. Just do without. The world, and its journalists, don't owe you anything.
I find the exercise of buying a car to be tedious. That doesn't justify me just driving one off the lot without paying.
Except it's not one subscription, it's a subscription to whatever today's post links to. It sums up.
Same reason Netflix had massively reduced video piracy, and that piracy being back nowadays.
Be an adult and pick one, instead of inventing excuses and imaginary problems.
Do you want me to lend you the $5?
