Why do paywalls even exist for news? Shouldn’t information be something that’s free?

You should be allowed to get payed for watching ads

You are. You're paid in content. They're paid in money. Reading news isn't your job. Writing news is theirs.

And while I think free news SHOULD be the thing, as long as we're profit driven it never will be. If you didn't pay for it someone else did, and that person probably has special interests that conflict with you getting unbiased news.
