Thank you! And thank you particularly for saying how you base your decisions. I'm learning

I too hate how the lines have blurred. Heck, as I see it, I hate how the lines are nearly gone. Some features are meant to draw me in; some are meant to get my eyeballs on ads; some are meant to make me angry (possibly so I'll share them and get MORE eyeballs on ads); some are meant merely to better characterize me for the ad machine. As long as I consume things via ad-channels (eg clicking through when someone else shares an article on FB), all those lines will be blurry at best.

I've tossed a couple of subscription fees at two places whose names have come up frequently in answer to my question. I may do more. I want well-written, well-researched articles to thrive.
