>pay us for a subscription just to read a story you can easily Google up and read on another news site for free
Isn't this paywall thing hurting news publications more than helping them? Why do they still insist on doing it?
Let them keep doing it.
The faster old media companies die out, the better.
If a site does that I blacklist them.

If site A can't do it at a certain level of quality for free, what makes you think site B is?
If it's not economically feasible, it's not economically feasible. You'll either have to deal with lower quality you're getting at a lower price or pay for the quality.

I wanted to read a paywalled article today.
I just went to archive.is and searched for the title.
Worked.
Although I'm not sure it's a reliable method.
Googling the title of a WSJ article literally lets you access it for free. I don't know why they even bother
A lot of news sites take an article from a paywalled site, change a few words around, and then publish the copy on their ad supported site. Look for websites that give credit to paywalled sites for their article.

Clicking on archive.is while on a paywalled Wall Street Journal page usually works.
