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

New York times - https://www.nytimes.com/section/technology abc - https://abcnews.go.com/technology

the hill - https://thehill.com/policy/technology/ BBC news - https://www.bbc.com/news/technology

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.

    It’s still free to you. It’s not a paywall.

    Mind you, you’re not contributing at all to support the material you’re consuming — there are other humans trying to make a living off the stuff you want for free.

    Support things you value, otherwise they might disappear. Or worse, they introduce a true paywall.

      Reuters is a bit different as a newswire, though. Their main customers are other news outlets.

        That’s fair.

        Maybe Reuters is finding that “end users” are becoming their new customers, especially in the current media climate.

        At first blush, I think it’s ok to want to track that type of impact more.
