How do you deal with paywalled sites for your bookmark archive to preserve the current Internet?


I just don`t do it. One could use a service in between, which opens up pay-walled content. But for me it`s not worth the hassle. Even if I`m loosing high quality content ... which is only available on one site.

I blacklist "bad" sites that don`t care about freedom or sites that just make life harder for the reader. Like unnecessary advertisement, binding the core functionality to cookies and/or javascript, being not international, copying from other sites ... those criteria can sum up to a overall bad user experience. Those criteria are only "bad" for me in the context of news and blog sites.
