Either buy a sub ($5/month, $40/year) or unsubscribe from my emails, because otherwise, you’re completely wasting your time, because I am NOT lowering my paywall, EVER, and I’ve been writing five articles a week for three years now here, and I ain’t stopping for at least another three more years, unless someone gives me a million dollars, which you can do on the sub page, under Founding Member.
