more and more news sites are pushing for paywalls even reuters now here are some sources that don't have pay walls and Npr *mentions* paywall in their own new pop-up?

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.

It’s still free to you. It’s not a paywall.
Mind you, you’re not contributing at all to support the material you’re consuming — there are other humans trying to make a living off the stuff you want for free.
Support things you value, otherwise they might disappear. Or worse, they introduce a true paywall.
Reuters is a bit different as a newswire, though. Their main customers are other news outlets.
That’s fair.
Maybe Reuters is finding that “end users” are becoming their new customers, especially in the current media climate.
At first blush, I think it’s ok to want to track that type of impact more.
