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.

Because smart people don't pay for things they can get for free if they're already profitable.

Useful idiots do, and they're proud of it.

So if all the "useful idiots" became enlightened like yourself. Who would pay for journalism, movies, games, server farms, food, etc to be produced and function?

if they’re already profitable.

Products would still get made, there would just be less profit.

Don't worry, they won't. :)
