I’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.

@cobweb I always like to enter a clearly false email with curse words that ends with the sites domain. (GoFu**[email protected])

It doesn't always work but hey why not try.
