Went to read this and it's subscription-walled. Fine. I subscribe to your podcast and like your work, so I go to subscribe. Turns out the subscribe page doesn't work without turning off ad blocking. Neither does the opt-in page. Neither does showing images in the articles even when logged in as a subscriber.

Disappointed.

If anyone should know better it's y'all. You're technically and privacy literate, and so are your audience. Still, you expect us to accept trackers to read an article?

I still love your actual journalism, and was honestly considering becoming paid subscriber. I can only do so in good conscience though when you stop forcing all readers to allow anti-privacy tracking.

If people have to turn off adblockers to read, I'm out.

🚀 Oh, the irony! #Brave, the "maverick" #browser that boasts ad-blocking superpowers, hits a brick wall because #Rust can't handle a few pesky #redirects. 🤦‍♂️ Maybe they should try duct tape and a bit of wishful thinking next time!

If you watch Prime using a computer, Firefox + uBlock Origin extension block all ads on Prime. (So far... watched a film on Mercado Play the other day & their ads defeated uBO. Wonder when other sites will copy that tech.)

@clankussy it's worse than #shrooms!

  • It's more like being tortured with hallucinogens because people doing shrooms themselves consent to it.
    • Whereas forcing ads down peoples throats is just the non-criminalized and socially accepted version of spamming unsolicited dick-pics!

Not to mention that #Adblocking is a necessity in terms of ITsec due to #Malvertising!
