Comment on F*** Paywallsparent

Comments

The internet existed before paywalls or ads.

Maybe not in its current form where faang gets to make billions loads of services are free, but fundamentally it can exist

Of course it can exist. But say goodbye to random blog posts from people who just want to put their voice out there. They'll need to establish a platform first (probably on some other ad-subsidized platform), get people to pay upfront/ subscribe, and then buy hosting.
