Paywall

Well this sucks.  I was browsing the BBC website today, and all of a sudden I was paywalled and couldn't access any more articles.  I'm not prepared to shell out $50 a year or whatever it is.  So that's yet another website that I can no longer fully access - it's not good that people don't have access to decent journalism.  I bet the right-wing news sites don't have paywalls.  It seemed like I am still able to access the articles on the BBC News app on my phone, but I imagine a paywall will also go up on that soon as well.  I can live with only being able to see the news headlines, but if I also can't access BBC Sports articles then we have a real problem.
