cobweb 2026 editionI’m so sorry to inform you, news sites, but when you tell me it’s not a paywall but you won’t let me read the thing without entering my email address… it’s a paywall. I’m paying you with my personal contact information. Actually I’m not paying you, I generally just close the tab.
(((Klefstadmyr)))@cobweb I just got hit with an article I could only read if I subscribed to their newsletter. Why would I want to subscribe to their newsletter? I'm not generally interested in whatever happens in Manchester, I just wanted to read this one article.
