At one point I lived in the greater Providence, RI area. I bought an online subscription to a big local paper [0], mainly to help support local journalism.

The subscription did give me full access to their articles. But it did nothing to eliminate the crap I really hate: interleaving of "sponsored content" with actual news, irrepressible autoplay videos, etc.

The unavoidable, usability-destroying advertising is why I cancelled almost immediately.
