Yeah, I did figure that out after the whole conversation.
Having to input your email address, or just lie and click “I’m already a subscriber” which shows the article, or reload the page apparently, is not a paywall. Also, it would have been easier for these people to just do any one of those three things than to come into the comments with their mouths open, making a demanding noise like a little baby bird.
I think we should normalize showing respect to the sites that want to try to get paid for spending the money to put their good articles together, and de-normalize treating that behavior as some kind of affront against the reader and immediately start whining about it. (As if that wasn’t already clear from my rude messages about it so far.)
I’m with you Phil; the people that complain about paywalls are the most ill-informed people on the planet
Learn to bypass it or pay for it, or otherwise go get your news from some fucking duck-faced, turkey-toothed influencer somewhere and then you can start voting for fucking Nazis
