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.

I really don't mind paying for good commentary and objective news, not corporate propaganda. Instead I seek foreign and objective independent sources that provide real information to temper the MSM noise.

As if I care :). The web is wide. I can wait whilst reading something else more usefull or waisting my time elsewhere, till all those newly paywall'ed (or accountwalled just to read) sites would want me (and other lost users) back and get rid of their paywalls.

It's because people keep paying for them.
