We live in a world, where we have more misinformation and poor journalism every day, and less money in the pockets of the people to afford paying for good journalism. So this might start a more open discussion on how to finance journalism. And while discussions are still going on, people can inform themselves with good journalism, which supports the democracy.

That is a looters mentality, sorry to say that. Paywall jumping software is like robbing a disabled old veteran in public transport. It are the last blows to finish off what was once good journalism.
