I wonder if paywalls on news sites make more business sense when those sites are modernly classified more as “entertainment” than “educational”. I think “the news” has come a long way from just a rich dude with a printing press wanting to make his opinion known to the masses.
Personally, I sometimes use free or not as a single metric for determining if something is more for education & public awareness or entertainment.
