I lol’d at this because I also didn’t pay for access. But… aren’t we all just hypocrites and kind of jerks to not give even a few dollars to people out there doing reporting and providing us with information? “Ads and tracking are bad, boo! Pay $5 for a subscription — hell no!”

While subscriptions can net you ad-free content, they rarely let you have it tracking-free.

lol wish Bloomberg was that cheap . Last time I renewed It was like 280/yr and retail is like $35/month.

Still probably worth it , financial news publishers generally have less bias[1]/sensationalism than general broadsheets. Bloomberg/FT have been by my go to for factual news without too much hyperbole , click bait.

[1] There will be pro-business bias of course which in US these days I think as outside the political spectrum , both parties have very bad polices for businesses or labour.

I used to spend money on Bloomberg’s news magazine (newspaper), but stopped because it’s a distant second to the Economist.

If payment isn't required, I'm not going to pay unless there is extraordinary value. Your failure to establish a sustainable business model is not my problem.
