This mental gymnastics definition of a paywall is not widely accepted. I was pointing out a small mistake. Is my website paywalled because you need to spend electricity to access it? A paywall is one where a monetary transaction is involved to view the content; that’s just what the word means.

or that monetary compensation is the only way to pay someone….
