I saw a post in here that had a bug and wouldn't let me respond from my phone, but...
It was talking about paywalls for news sites. And this is literally the best one i know to get passed them. Just copy and paste.

I was donating to the Guardian for a few years until my financial situation changed, is it much the same nowadays? It’s been a while, and in today’s world I feel like it’s much too easy to accidentally support bad actors (like if one joined or stayed in Twitter or Reddit today) just by lacking context.
I don’t read all that much international/English news, but when I do, it seems by habit I tend to just go to the guardian. But really wouldn’t want to support questionable ethics or stances.
Beyond just generally enjoying their journalism, one of the journalists covering Ukraine for the Guardian is the husband of a friend of mine. So I get to see his dedication to his work from relatively close up, and makes it at least very clear to me that they're on a journalistic mission worth supporting.
I think any media outlet of that size (or any size, probably) can be criticized, and some of it will be valid. But that's just in the nature of the craft - it's a challenging field, and it's impossible not to make some mistakes. In my experience the Guardian remains committed to quality journalism, and they have some of the best people out there working for them.
