Buy newspapers. Ads, paywalls and the death of journalism are instrinsically linked. If you reject the first two then you promote the last.

Endowment, patronage, and advertising share the problem of the person paying the bills not being the user.

The person paying the bills with newspapers never was the users in the first place. Newspapers were traditionally funded by advertising, not subscriptions.
