Anyone have pointers to good recent articles or papers about the “paywalling of the web”?
I’m increasingly concerned that many of the good, informative, factual news articles are being put behind paywalls (or at least “registration walls” / “regwalls” where you have to login to see it), while the articles that are less accurate or are actual misinformation / disinformation are freely available.
I’d like to do some writing on the topic, but don’t want to duplicate what others have said.
