Is it just me or are websites that implement these kinds of selective paywalls rarely worth visiting, let alone worth spending effort to get through the paywall?

The Wall Street Journal is a very, very good newspaper that brought us such amazing series as "What They Know", which I believe started the practice of referring to the use of trackers as "spying" (much to the dismay of advertisers), which has certainly helped deliver the message that tracking is something users should worry about.

It's not you. For me, there is so much more to life than news. Not worth any extra effort
