    I’ve been kicking them money for a while now. Only infrequently, but maybe $25 at a time because I appreciate their journalism. This makes me wonder if I’ll donate again. I’m not opposed to paying for content (I have numerous subscriptions). I just feel better about it when things are open and accessible.

      You’re donating to keep the site free for casual use, not to bank roll them to be unlimited free. This approach the guardian have introduced is absolutely fair use.

      Sometimes I give a bit to Wikipedia, maybe do that instead? It claims to be not for profit but I’ve seen accusations against that. I don’t really know, but I do know I use it quite a lot.
