Yeah exactly, well said. I think for a lot of people the advent of paywalls felt like taking away a free thing, instead of a return to the norm. Personally when it comes to journalism I prefer a paywall to advertiser-supported.
Yeah, I think you got it exactly. Once we get used to a thing for free, we get very annoyed when it is no longer free.
And fully agree with paywalled/paid journalism versus the hellish race to the bottom engendered by advertiser supported news.
