Hey,
Toodles, dudes. No way I'm getting a newsreader since I only read two
people here and they're on FB. I will miss all the racist, homophobic bullshit and all the wankers crying about "woke." Fuck that.

But, William, there are free newsreaders/servers, which should suffice
for non-vigorous usage.
Which news reader do you use Mr. Pig?

While technically Astraweb is a pay site, I paid them $10 a *long* time
ago. Essentially unlimited text groups for life. However, the problem
with a thousand spam messages a day to r.a.tv means I would not
recommend them right now.
You paid a one-time $10? Indeed that must've been a *long* time ago.
I'm paying nearly $10/mo. now (and it keeps going up). Meanwhile, yeah,
the spam is repulsive, but Thunderbird lets me mostly filter it out.

I don't use a smart phone either. Paypal works fine with a desktop browser.

Do you download massive numbers of binaries?
You should only use a monthly plan if you do so.
Otherwise, cancel your monthly account, and get a block account.
They are listed on the main page https://www.astraweb.com/
$10 for 25G of downloads. That's pretty much text groups for life.
$50 gets you 1000G. Do you download a terabyte every 5 months?

You just sign up for a free account to use their newsserver. I've
been using them for years (ever since Comcast shut down their
newsserver), along with Forte Agent newsreader software. Works great.
Only downside is that they don't do binaries, just plain text messages >(reading and posting).
