also feel free to comment your own suggestions for news sites for tech updates that don't pay wall on the web page.

while nonprofit Npr doesn't pay wall, they have a new pop up that says something along the likes of "expected a paywall not our style please donate" that the user can dismiss and continue browsing the site. https://www.npr.org/sections/technology/
Reuters use to be a good source for me untill they started pay walling after a small amount of news article reads.
Reuters just asks for a sign up which is annoying but at least it’s free
true, but i'm not signing up for something I check once in a blue moon. and I suppose technically it isn't a paywall, but it could turn into to one, or it might as well be one, what else does this pop up serve, to protect the site from bots?
It’s still free to you. It’s not a paywall.
Mind you, you’re not contributing at all to support the material you’re consuming — there are other humans trying to make a living off the stuff you want for free.
Support things you value, otherwise they might disappear. Or worse, they introduce a true paywall.
Reuters is a bit different as a newswire, though. Their main customers are other news outlets.
That’s fair.
Maybe Reuters is finding that “end users” are becoming their new customers, especially in the current media climate.
At first blush, I think it’s ok to want to track that type of impact more.
