I get the site is the editors and authors to do with as they wish.
And that they need to be self supporting.
This decision, seemingly temporary (thank goodness!), has eroded some of my enthusiasm and trust for the site.
I have been reading the blog for many years. I am willing to send some of my money the blog’s way, particularly if it feels like I will be able to keep reading for many more years. Patreon works for me, but even it doesn’t work for the blog there has to be a mutually agreeable option.
While the style of Boing Boing is seems to be one of less engagement with the commenters, such engagement or a blog post explaining/addressing might help.
It is not so much that I am disappointed. Just the schadenfreude that accompanies the feeling of disengaging from something I once had very positive feeling about.
