> I believe they exclude the less fortunate from access to important resources, so I refuse to give my money to companies that use paywalls, because I see that as rewarding bad behaviour.
I agree with what you wrote but I think it is an understatement.
The good fortune of spending an amount of years in a great coastal community with an excellent library system; those primarily physical assets I used as a child are now mainly digitized.
Where does that leave much of the world that cannot afford these exploitative paywalls?
This is truly a diversity & inclusion issue about providing the same 100 steps forward many of us were fortunate to receive, to everyone. Our tax dollars already funded much of it anyways.
We cannot permit the unjust enrichment of paywall tyranny!
