@textfiles (an image description:)A screenshot of the New York Times website as seen from a smartphone. The article on screen has a headline that reads, “The Dream Was Universal Access To Knowledge. The—“, but it is ironically cut by the Times log-in user interface asking the user to log in and subscribe to read the article.

@textfiles Liked this, but serious question. What alternatives are there for news orgs to make money and pay their staff other than instituting paywalls? Back in the day, I never begrudged newspapers or magazines for charging for subscriptions.

@textfiles Do you have a public library card?If you do, most public libraries provide access to most paywalled material. Mine uses PressReader on its web site.And this is why Republicans are attacking libraries...Information asymmetry is needed when billionaires are funding a growing fascist movement.Keeping access to information is mandatory for pro-democracy advocacy.

@textfiles Even though I do think that paywalls are a necessary evil (especially with the Times, they usually do great stuff), that's hilarious. I do think that articles covering that kind of topic should not have paywalls, though.

@textfiles Universal access isn't the same as free access tbh. You can access every information out there, but you also have to pay the people providing it. And ofc the access to the medium itself (provider fee).
