@zackwhittaker you’re likely preaching to the converted here (I saw a poll where the numbers using ad blockers on the fedi were huge cf what I think this is standardly).

@clare_hooley @zackwhittaker Sadly, nobody I know who needs this info can (or would) pay for a professional level subscription in order to get this recommendation. I hope you will make important information for normal people like this accessible later or find a way to sell one article at a rate that makes sense for the people who need it.

Thank you
