Pay for the web or print edition?

Journalists need to eat as well as you do.

The more people aren't supporting journalists weather in Substack or Reuters, the more articles that will be behind a paywall.

It's such a shame as well since AI is also constantly bypassing and scraping RSS for business and commercial purposes, violating licenses.

I don't think the complaint is that RSS doesn't get around paywalls, it's that even if you pay, many publications don't offer full-text RSS.
