Paying for it doesn’t make the site less miserable to use. One of the stupid things about piracy is that it tends to also be the best available version of the thing. You’re actively worse off having paid for it. (Ads, denial, DRM in general, MBs of irrelevant JS, etc don’t go away with money, but do with piracy)

Case in point: paying for the New York Times doesn’t block ads in their app.

This right here. It would be nice to have some perk like you can read the articles through Gopher.
