Doesn't WSJ require registration before you view content?
That is an irritant, which is as big as the ads that they serve.

Weird isn't it? A major news website won't show give you the news unless you pay them to show it to you.

That just shows how much the people in WSJ are money crazy and don't give two cents about what the people want.

Then again it is also Wallstreet journal.

Browser software startup Brave has some bitcoin it would like to give to The Wall Street Journal.

The controversial browser that blocks third-party ads, also gives users the ability to offset lost ad revenue in the form of bitcoin micropayments reconciled at the end of each month.

The first of these reconciliation cycles ended last week and Brave has now published a step-by-step process explaining how website owners can claim their bitcoin.

"The Wall Street Journal is number one," Brave co-founder Brenden Eich during a conversation with CoinDesk earlier this week.
