This reads like a poor attempt at moralizing. Why would i imagine news revenue is directed morally? Why is the relative size relevant?

I think the point is "if you aren't paying, you're getting the cheaper of the two".

Not sure that paying would make things better anyways. If everyone was paying then there would be enough revenue for the news to produce the real/biased reporting/agitprop that their customers demand.

But if you aren't consuming news at all then it doesn't matter and you're free.
