I personally find plenty of great free content in StackExchange, Github, Coursera, etc.
The rest is not really content, it's entertainment.
The entertainers choose how will they get paid.
The reality is that they work is not valuable enough to be paid directly, so they opt-in for a revenue from adverts.
And I choose to opt-out from paying them, because I think that we shouldn't be paying for entertainment. What is worst is that 'news' increasingly becomes entertainment. You only need so much paid journalist to cover main events. If they choose to make farce out of events, it's up to them. But I will not pay that premium, because I do not care and because I don't even want to reach me. And you dot have to do anything for 'news' to reach you.
