It works like this.  The LAtimes needs to set up an account where I get a cut of ad revenue and then and only then will I alter my /etc/hosts file to SHARE said compensation. The LAtimes needs to make arrangements with me to deposit a share of ad revenue with moi everytime I hit their site. Capice? Again, Eric has the inside track on us Tauri?

The stories you read are your cut.  If that's inadequate, then feel free to not-read.

I wasn't clear.  I checked and there are 22 tracking sites, 2 analytic sites, along with the run of the mill ad sites. Things are getting hung up on the tracking sites, since it's those that are in the /etc/host files. So, I suppose your right, it I pay privacy in exchange for article reading.

FWIW, I don't think much of the arrangement either.  When the decision was made that the internet had to be free, most of this was hardwired into the model.
