    I’ve said it before, but news companies and magazines like this deserve some of the blame for the proliferation of “fake news.” Monetary needs or not, when they lock legitimate reporting behind paywalls that simply guarantees people are going to get their news from “free” sources instead.

    I understand the need for revenue, but another solution should have been found that didn’t effectively turn facts and reality into premium subscription content.

    see, I don’t negotiate with terrorists, so I use PopUpOFF and Bypass Paywalls Clean. Also AdNauseam, TrackMeNot, CanvasBlocker, and SponsorBlock to round out the “fuck you, fuck your ads, and fuck your tracking” suite.

    Hostile consumer practices becoming ubiquitous? Become a hostile consumer.

      Calling a news site terrorist for asking for payment for the articles they write in the current political landscape sounds so… first-world-problems.

        Running malware on someone else’s computer does not exactly make you the good one.
