You need to earn my trust if you want me to pay.

Many of these legacy media outlets are demanding Netflix-level fees for fanfic-level content.

The NYT is one of the biggest, most recognised publications worldwide. If they don't meet your requirements, I don't think that's a realistic expectation

I think many people also don't understand the difference between opinion and reporting. You can despise the opinion section of NYT, or WSJ, or whatever, but still respect the reporting.

I question a lot of the choices they've made in the opinion section, and which letters from politicians to publish, but it can't be understated that OP/EDs are totally separate from everything else.
