I started to notice that more sites are turning into paywalls, and I don't like that and would prefer ads over subscriptions.

I am curious, what does the general community think about that?

You almost got the trifecta of news agencies. Check out Agencie France-Presse. Also, while they’re usually reliable, note that Al Jazeera is heavily biased towards the Arab Middle East and that NPR is heavily biased towards the US.

Anyways, I think sites like these demonstrate why we should enable ads that are just a few billboards and don’t run into the prairie, as another commenter has said.

Possibly, I would like to see that sites like this stay alive.
