This is 100% correct. Many of the people who claim subscriptions cost too much willingly hand over the same amount for Amazon prime and middling shows on HBO Max. Care about civil society? Support a newspaper or long form journal. And stop complaining about paywalls that allow them to exist.
@radiofreetom.bsky.socialPlease stop making excuses for the civic indifference of American voters. "Oh, newspapers got too expensive"
No, they didn't. People spent their money on other stuff. We became a decadent, sated society and abandoned our responsibilities as citizens.
