I've used individual.net for years but they are dropping usenet in 2027. 
I'll cross that bridge when it burns or something.

There are still free Usenet services, the

   https://www.eternal-september.org/

being the most common.  Commercial offerings are listed with prices at

   https://www.usenet.org/

and there are more free services you can make use of.  Some of them
appear to promise anonymity, but I haven't looked.

As far as I know, some people make use of Usenet through BBS services,
from C64s possibly, even.


Best wishes, and happy Usenet!

Another vote for Eternal September. Free, and it just works.

I was a happy Newsguy user for years, and then one day it just
quietly died (along with the company).  I now use news.astraweb.com.
