I just subscribed to Lifehacker a few days ago, and now I've unsubscribed. The articles are nothing but tech product-shilling, non-stop. Mostly Samsung and Apple.

Anything that is, or once was affiliated with Gawker / GMG is, in its current state, a cringe-inducing, shambling husk of whatever it once was. My muscle memory still directs me to a number of those blogs and everyday I recoil at what has become of them.

It used to be pretty good, but that was over ten years ago now.

Unfortunately everything is an ad now. It's the only way these sites are capable of surviving.

I feel like I'm turning into 'that guy' again but cryptocurrency could help this out.

a) connect wallet to lifehacker

b) have fractions of a cent taken out to unlock articles

I know people can bypass it/copy paste, but at the end of the day it would be another source of revenue. They are surviving as is, but barely.

I feel like you'd be interested in the Web Monetization API, if you're not already aware of it.
