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.

    whitelist advertisements on good sites

    Stupid question, but does that generate any benefit for the platform even if you don’t click the ads?

    Even if I see an ad for something I’m interested in, I’ll act on that by looking the item in question up on a search engine or YouTube or something - never by clicking the ad, as that’s always felt like risky browsing behavior in terms of opening the doors to malware.

      Fair question, I think it depends

      Sites also have control over the types of ads they show, so sites with harmful ads should be blocked anyways
