Most sites that have ads are really just entertainment for me, even news. And there&#x27;s lots of other entertainment.<p>It would be a shame if $FAVORITE were to disappear, they have great journalists, but I don&#x27;t read $FAVORITE regularly, so if I never see a link for it on HN I probably won&#x27;t remember it existed.<p>I pay for three outlets: NYT, Economist, Guardian. Nothing else in the world has seemed important enough for me to pay for it, and I won&#x27;t miss them if I&#x27;m blocked.
