So you hate advertising, hate the standard of ad-funded journalism, but won't pay for quality content... how do you propose you read and fund higher quality journalism/content?
I pay for multiple online publications that I actually read, none of which are paywalled, and I've even built more than one of them. If The Athletic offered a "pay for one article" system I would have done that. How about you?
You also showed everyone else - who may well be keen to read more than one article every four years - a way round the paywall to receive the journalism for free. That's how quality journalism dies - and we end up with even less scrutiny of institutions / access to useful information rather than clickbait and badly-rewritten press releases.

I'm not subscribing to something I read one article on per 4 years. That's just stupid.

Where do you stand on reading a paper someone's left behind on a train?
Twat.
Surely if you stand on it it’s going to be quite difficult to read .
I never read the Metro
If the paper is left on the seat you shouldn't really be standing on it!
When I find myself in times of trouble, Bez Lubala comes to me
Scoring goals for Wycombe, Beryly
And in my hour of darkness he is standing right in front of me
Scoring goals for Wycombe, Beryly
Beryly, Beryly, Beryly, Beryly
Scoring goals for Wycombe, Beryly
Brilliant! Love how the name scans!
