I don't do this. If I see a paywall, I don't visit the site again.

The Verge recently went with paywalls... I just deleted the bookmark. It was never a very good site anyway. They blasted an Android phone for doing something new, and then praised Apple for doing the exact same thing. I forget what. We were calling them iVerge for a while after that. (It was not recently.) Even as an Apple guy, I could not respect that. But the content has been entertaining, so I kept going back. I definitely will not pay them for their content though.

Oh you mean the guys that hazed an idiot by making him do a pc build tutorial?
