Well since I personally refuse to use any apps that I can’t pay to disable ads and I use an ad blocker, that might be kind of difficult…

That's kind of my issue: In journalism it's hard for us to make money because we have a low amount of users who are wiling to pay to disable ads (or remove paywalls for that matter) while at the same time ads don't pay us enough despite high user engagement, so what do we do?

The market doesn’t value journalism. I’m not saying that it isn’t important. But the market has spoken.
