also feel free to comment your own suggestions for news sites for tech updates that don't pay wall on the web page.

New York times - https://www.nytimes.com/section/technology abc - https://abcnews.go.com/technology

the hill - https://thehill.com/policy/technology/ BBC news - https://www.bbc.com/news/technology

while nonprofit Npr doesn't pay wall, they have a new pop up that says something along the likes of "expected a paywall not our style please donate" that the user can dismiss and continue browsing the site. https://www.npr.org/sections/technology/

Reuters use to be a good source for me untill they started pay walling after a small amount of news article reads.

Ads are invasive, intrusive, and hardly actually worth the value they sell themselves for… but I guess I’m entitled for thinking so.

That sounds like mafia logic. Paying won’t make ads any less intrusive or invasive. Only a little less so, only for me, only on one specific website, and only until advertising gets reintroduced to that service’s paid tiers. Modern advertising is its own reason why ad-blockers are so popular. It isn’t entitlement, it’s a response to entitlement.
