Similarly, if they don't want me viewing their content without paying, they can setup a pay wall.

In today's world, running a business on an ad model is just one step above asking for donations. If you want people to pay, make them pay. It really is that simple.

Well, you don't pay to walk in the store.

You do when that 'store' is an art gallery or something similar and the purpose there is to view the wares.

I've never seen an art gallery that required you to pay for entry.

I have seen museums, however, that require a paid ticket to see their artwork.

You're not going to sell a lot of wares of any kind if you require potential customers to pay just to come in and look. Even "membership club" places like Costco let people come in and look for free, though they have to ask permission.
