There's no need to play the edgelord here. Your average person does not have $200USD/month lying around for news. Even cable packages aren't that expensive.

But they don't need that much either, just budgeting $15 a month is more than sufficient to have a favorite paid substack, and several other free substacks. Most people don't have the time to analyze that much information.

Its sufficient to know that viewpoints other than MSM-peddled-narratives exist, that gives people a healthy skepticism, without needing to spend days each month just analyzing the news.

ok, shoot. $5/mo per sub. Pick three for your $15 budget and a few freebies. I submit it is not sufficient merely to know that non-MSM narratives exist to have the skills sufficient to detect military-grade influence campaigns.

The fact your "average" person can't afford premium information is the point. Truth is free to those who can afford it, very expensive to those who can't.
