"Modest ads" were never a thing: if you were on the internet 10-ish years ago, you'll remember that pop-up ads were everywhere.
Also, ads were never able to support newspapers, even if they used to be more lucrative. Newspapers were desperate to reach new audiences and they basically started to publish stuff at a loss. That's why media is in the situation they're in right now: underfunded and in perpetual search for new ways to monetize so they do not die altogether.
If you're still not very knowledgeable, "Sophie's World" by Jostein Gaarder is an awesome read. Don't let the fact that it's a novel fool you, it's perfect to understand who's who across philosophy's history.

Notesnook and Standard Notes are really good. Both are end-to-end encrypted and FOSS.
Every other app and solution I've tried is kinda janky, e.g. using Dropbox, git, Syntching or some other app to sync across devices. I want an all-in-one, encrypted, cloud-based, FOSS solution.
I've been using Standard Notes for some years now and I'm pretty happy with it.
I mean, the article bit they quote is kinda crazy:
“I haven’t tested the SanDisk 4TB Extreme Portable SSD, but I have used many SanDisk products over the decades. The company built a reputation for quality products that, in my experience, it deserves.”
Also, why would the Verge not have moral high ground? They are one of the most respected tech sites around
IMHO you always have to stay informed. Just find a news source that does not create too much FUD and you're set. E.g: Axios, NPR, Reuters, etc
