   Now that CNN is paywalled: https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/01/media/cnn-launch-digital-subscription-paywall/

   Let me share this piece from 2020 which is still true and relevant:

     @joeo10 There's another news org that's gone. Nobody I know would pay for it on line-the cable people spend enough money on them, don't they?
     Bullshit.

     @fmhilton Yep, I also use a script to bypass the paywall or just don't even visit the website any more. There are other options (preferably non-profit ones) that are doing a much better job than CNN has.
