@MxVerda @evacide I know I could use any of the dozens of paywall-evading sites there are, but I have no patience to use a sucker mail and go on thru the process of confirmation and whatever jus to read something that just gives me positive feedback, because just by reading the headline I can figure out pretty well what I'm about to read.

@MxVerda @evacide well I was hoping for a read but the mailwall stopped me in my tracks. But yeah, now I think about it the name speaks for itself.
