Excellent product...well worth the investment for premium! People who are saying that they might as well pay the source site don't seem to understand that they would have to pay countless source sites vs just this one. Yes, we should support journalism, but it's not feasible to have paid accounts with every single site. This allows you to read articles across the internet, and if you find certain sites that you visit often, you can support those with a subscription too if you want.

I upgraded to the paid plan, and it is awesome. Does it work on every article? No. But it does work most of the time.

Tried to view an article and the extension just wrapped the same walled site in a spaywall banner asking for money. If i was going to pay, i would pay the actual site.
