Are there ads behind the paywalls? Genuine question, we I've never paid to find out. If yes, then they can ask fuck right off. You don't get to have it both ways.

It's annoying seeing ads in paid products, but having multiple revenue streams is a basic financial strategy that every business employs, so no surprises here

Not surprising, no, but it also ensures that I will never directly financially support that product.

I mean, yes, but they're minimal. They don't charge enough for a subscription to fully cover their revenues. Plus serving ads has always been something news outlets have done for revenue.

But hey, if they can just fuck off, I guess we can maintain either ads all over the page or let Sinclair/Newscorp run everything.
