I pay. People pay, stop saying no one wants to pay, it's wrong. One example that comes in mind is Wikipedia: no ads, people pay.

I don't want ads all over my screen when I browse the web. It doesn't mean I don't want to pay for content (I do pay). If ads were all blocked, websites would charge for content, and I believe people would pay. I would. I'm glad to pay for a better quality of life and less consumerism. Meanwhile I use NewPipe and uBlock Origin which I believe have a good impact on this society.

For most channels you don't need an IRC account. And there are web interfaces like https://web.libera.chat/.
I'm trying to subscribe to Discord. I'm currently stuck in a captcha loop.

I usually know, when the interface is not too shiny, that the content might be good. It's the same with HN. And those interfaces are still very easy to understand and use.
That being said, there is certainly room for improvement.

There is usually no need to subscribe.

You don't need to subscribe. You are in CC when people want you to be notified, otherwise there are web interfaces you can browse. See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/ for example. On each message there is a button: "reply via email to [...]".
