What is going on with websites requiring you login before being able to view anything?

Just discovered Quora won't let me view posts unless I log in.

Instagram - can't view posts unless you log in.

Shoppee (e-commerce site in Thailand) - can't even browse without signing in.

Is someone likely to know you have info worth stealing?
Do they know where on your system or on which drive that info is?
Do they have access to your devices and/or drives?
Do they have access to your Yubikeys?
Do they know which Yubikey unlocks which device, drive, or file?

This seems like an unlikely set of conditions that won't apply to 99.9999% of individuals.

@neonbubble Happy birthday! Trust you're enjoying the day with sunshine, good food and some excellent libations!

@fredonline hi Fred, I uploaded your screenshot into chatgpt and explained what you had done.

It came back with a lot of helpful suggestions on how to try fixing it.

@neonbubble sadly a lot of elderly people fall for these scams.
@neonbubble I hope she's ok and the bites clear up soon. Sounds like a nasty, possibly allergic, reaction.
@neonbubble crickey! What was biting her?
@neonbubble I hoped that was the case. I recently watched a shocking BBC documentary about diabetes in Wales and would hate for anyone I know to be like those poor people.

Please use it as much as you want in your art!

@neonbubble

Diabetes is definitely something you want to avoid.
I guess you're smart enough to know that already.
