@molly0xfff Looks like something @SuperDicq posted in the past...

Don't worry the platforms are also copying off of each other, you're bound to find one eventually

True, but not as funny w/o the juxtaposition of the subscription prompt.
@EugestShirley @chriswarren @molly0xfff It's there at the bottom. You might have to click through to see it.

@srobalino @EugestShirley @molly0xfff

my Mastodon client (Ivory) displays the whole image in the preview without having to click through

I might be missing something, but if I’m following your argument, it’s that your client (which appears to be the official Mastodon one) doesn’t and so therefore linking to that post isn’t a worthwhile contribution to the conversation?

@chriswarren @srobalino @molly0xfff

I'm sorry if my stray remark offended you. I'll delete it if you like.
You are right, every instance, every device and every personal device setting affects what a viewer sees or gets clipped.

I found this thread delightful and funny. Wasn't trying to vex or brawl.

@molly0xfff Ironic article behind a paywall? :)
@molly0xfff This seems to be some kind of running gag in US online media lately.
@molly0xfff same energy

@duk @molly0xfff I wounder if the people who chose to #paywall said content are #sarcastic geniuses or already on their way out and not getting paid enough to give f**ks...

I mean it doesn't matter in the end, but I really like the result...

That being said, we have options like https://12ft.io/ to fix the #Paywalling issue...

@duk @molly0xfff oh, and if you want to publish in Nature, you have to PAY them $3,500 for the privilege of having others pay Nature to read it..

And then you're not allowed to share it with others unless it's a preprint..

@joule @duk @molly0xfff for info open access publication in Nature Publishing Group is about 10,000 €...
That's why preprints are the best way to avoid this.
yea @duk and @molly0xfff, tis called dogfooding
@duk @molly0xfff Progress since 1992: not much

这文章其实讲的是人们越来越不懂科学了 
@molly0xfff I'm not a fan of the great man theories either.
@molly0xfff I bought a retail today and when they asked for my email I just noped right out. Sick of companies wanting to email me bullshit too.
@molly0xfff capitalism in decay 😌

@molly0xfff I actually cackled so loud several people on the train thought iI was insane.

(They're not wrong tho...)

@molly0xfff
I believe this puts the mail in the coffin for anyone who still thinks the NYT isn't a conservative paper now.
Only US conservatives seem to have this absolute block from acknowledging that yes, things *also* apply to you.

*Not actually the NYT

@molly0xfff https://12ft.io/ 👀 👀 👀

For getting around paywalls, in case anyone in this thread needed it.

@_CrabWithKnife_ @molly0xfff

That was the best post I have seen in recent memory! I would expect that on the #anarchy channel...

@molly0xfff I'm donating to environmental charities for each of the subscriptions I've cancelled.
@molly0xfff
We should unsubscribe from WSJ's existence, begone with that conservative, propagandic phony of a news outlet!
@molly0xfff
(French chef accent): "Le Irony, she is dead!"
@molly0xfff This is so terrible it almost circles around to being beautiful.
@molly0xfff was that on April Fool's Day?
@molly0xfff Irony, or something else...
@molly0xfff Is there a 'method acting' for writing?
@molly0xfff Amazing. I'd love to see this on mobile, if you could even see the page.
@molly0xfff on the bright side, in 2 years we should be able to see the free ai written version of this type of article. With a few good hallucinations for entertainment.
@molly0xfff Thought that was an Onion article
@molly0xfff aka people are sick of tracking with ever transaction. I'm going to start going back to cash only & no rewards programs for all in person transaction.
@molly0xfff breathtaking, really

@johnmark @molly0xfff its either a great use case for a Subscription "ActivityPub" model that lets one discovery, un/sub services, and manage centrally.

Or, its time to melt the SaaS (Sysiphysian-Insanity as a Service) model currently en vogue.

@molly0xfff so…you need a subscription to read the article on subscriptions? 🤔😬
@molly0xfff Yes. Subscription fatigue.
@molly0xfff That's why companies like SetApp have a business. They replace multiple subscriptions and purchases with one.

@molly0xfff people may say it's hypocrisy.
but can easily be a writer and editor - heck, the whoe team even - who know and acknowledge it's a problem, but are unable to change the company rules by themselves.
The headlight still brings attention to the problem.

On the other hand, 'companies rethinking' does not mean anything will change in any significant way; specially given that I've seen articles as such years and years ago; but pay/subscription walls are still all around
