This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I'm with you to an extent but it also makes me consider what my online experience would have been if I needed money to do anything online. The internet was a huge part of my childhood and I definitely didn't have money to spend on it.
We barely had enough to get internet when I was ~10yrs old and it was much later when we got something better than dial up.
There will always be those who offer things for free, always has been. Granted, we might've gotten used to higher quality (paid for by ads) and will need to "settle" for lower quality if we don't pay with money - but I think for humanity's sake this is something that needs to be done.
