The interesting thing is the truth there was not behind a paywall. It was in the anarchic corners of the internet that allowed such heresy. What was behind the paywalls was pure state serving propaganda.
The last few years have been a real lesson to those who are paying attention. Unfortunately I've been really disappointed with how few of my friends have kept an open mind despite the poisoned information landscape.
The only reason the Internet was a "bastion of truth" for awhile was that the whole thing was outside the walls.
The walls have moved and the truth has been confirmed, everything that is outside the walls is heresy, don't even think of going to look at it, as it is bad.
