What do you expect? Nobody buys newspapers anymore so they charge via website. Without the charges all the journalists lose their jobs |

Without the charges all the journalists lose their jobs you are not wrong but shroppy star sold their soul to anyone willing to pay for adverts long ago, I think a lot of them are just scams, I know they say ads work but whenever im bombarded with them on a site I'm straight off out of there , its all weight loss, penis extensions, Eastern European bored young ladies looking for ugly old men, make easy money etc it could at least be something I need  |

I get life insurance, solar panels, lifetime mortgage and how much is my house worth.
Perhaps further work is needed, then again......

If you go into connection settings on android and select private DNS provider hostname and type dns.adguard.com it blocks the ads.

Without the charges all the journalists lose their jobs Given the limited article availability I expect they won't get a great deal from advertising if they aren't getting significant traffic. I wonder how many subscribers they have. |

I wonder how many subscribers they have. I certainly wouldn't ever bother paying for the articles. Most of them I've already read the content on the forums, that's where most of their 'breaking news' comes from. |
