Nothing infamous about it. It's the only way to stay informed from diverse sources since proliferation of paywalls started
And if no one pays for any of that content there will be zero ways to stay informed!
Information has existed long before the invention of money, and will outlive it.
IMO it is a false dichotomy to equate piracy with theft like that.
I think 90-99% of anything pirated (or accessed by bypassing paywalls etc) would just never be bought/paid-for if there was no alternative.
Are there no ads on the site?
Isn't paying to remove paywalls another way?
If you are OK with getting your information from one or two sources - why not. You can also subscribe to a newspaper. But surely internet can do (and did until relatively recently!) better than that.
Paywall epidemic is a recent phenomenon, internet media managed to exist before that.
