How do you guys get around the paywall? Am I being unreasonable for not wanting to have to pay for a subscription?

Paste the article URL into the bottom search to see if somebody archived it already. If they haven't, paste it into the top one to do so.

They actually have a Chrome extension also that makes it one click

Works for me in reader view. Dont open through reddit app, open in a dedicated browser with reader view

If it’s just one article, not unreasonable. But news costs money to produce, it’s not free. And like everything you get what you pay for. If you like their news, it’s reasonable to pay to get it regularly.

You are not being unreasonable.

It is kind of funny that reddit constantly complains about news/reporting going to shit and then turns around and gets upset when the few half decent places left want to get paid for their work.

It's almost like people don't understand how facebook became the place most people get their news, especially the poor.

We could also just fund public news again.

I just learned you can hit the Aa in upper corner and it shows it in reader mode getting around the paywall.
