I don’t think the [The Verge’s paywall](https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/3/24306571/verge-subscription-launch-fewer-ads-unlimited-access-full-text-rss) will last, given that it’s very porous, most Verge readers likely block ads anyway, and the comments section is already… lively. They should offer an easy way to support them without degrading the free experience, but I can’t blame them for trying something.
