If the FBI can't trace the plates of cars that they themselves have allocated to their own staff, what makes them think they can catch an actual terrorist?
Actually, I first heard of patreon via a youtube subscription - get that? An artist that was already producing video content for free that was also asking his subscribers if they wanted to support his efforts.
So:
1. Not a paywall.
2. I personally already like his content.
Nonsense. I get most of my news coverage from blogs and Google news. When I hit a news paywall I hit the back button and update my settings to ignore that news source. That means that they've lost me forever, along with any ad revenues they might have gained.

Chiropractors make a series of claims - they should be able to back them up with scientific studies, and they can't/won't. Seriously though, with the metaphysical babble that the treatments are based on, and the requirement to actually produce evidence, I can't see that ever happening.
There is apparently a consensus that Chiropractic treatment of lower back pain may assist in relieving lower back pain (such as you describe), but there is no such consensus for any other Chiropractic treatments.
So IMO, beyond treatments for lower back pain, they should either back up their claims, or STFU.

Why make movies a different price? You can do 2.1 billion items of hurt if everything sells for a cent each, or even more if you sell in the lowest value currency - they could piss the US off both ways if they sell in Iranian Rials.
I wonder if the $21m is for actual sales, or for profits? It it's for profit, they could use Hollywood accounting to keep selling stuff forever.

Thinking about it though, perhaps this is why they have to keep setting up their own terrorist plots
