I'm actually in favor of it. I feel like if I value something enough, I am going to pay for it. Good journalism is something I value. Even sites that don't have a paywall, I have made a habit of donating to at least once a year. I do also subscribe to WaPo, my local paper, and the Richmond Times-Dispatch, though, because I like being informed. I have subscriptions to a couple of news magazines as well (though I prefer digital only).

I would rather a media company earn money through subs than through ads because, in theory anyway, the product is subscriber focused rather than advertiser or owner focused.
