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!
