Paywall

/ˈpeɪwɔːl/noun
ELI5 mode

A paywall is an online mechanism that blocks access to digital content until a user pays a fee or subscribes, essentially turning information into a guarded treasure. In today's content-driven world, it's a double-edged sword for publishers, boosting revenue while potentially alienating free readers who seek open access.
