I just subscribed to Lifehacker a few days ago, and now I've unsubscribed. The articles are nothing but tech product-shilling, non-stop. Mostly Samsung and Apple.

Didn't this stupid website used to help you, you know, hack life or something?

Unfortunately everything is an ad now. It's the only way these sites are capable of surviving.

I feel like I'm turning into 'that guy' again but cryptocurrency could help this out.

a) connect wallet to lifehacker

b) have fractions of a cent taken out to unlock articles

I know people can bypass it/copy paste, but at the end of the day it would be another source of revenue. They are surviving as is, but barely.
