My preferred solution is to pay a middleman, or middlemen to provide metered access to nag-free content. The only thing keeping me from subscribing to NYT, WSJ, The Economist is that they're all expecting me to pay magazine subscription rates when the only articles I'm reading are links from aggregators like HN. I have zero desire to pour enough time into any one outlet to make the friction of managing yet another login worth it.
I don't want to see fucking pop ups asking me to subscribe, I don't want to see bitching about my adblocker, no, I'm not giving it up. Hell, even Wikipedia's yearly donation drive is getting annoying. Donating does not stop the nagging. I'm very close to finding a way to block that too, Wikipedia does not seem to offer a yearly donation option, so I need the nag to remind me to donate. I just wish I could switch it off.
Just quit fucking bugging me and let me read in peace. How much money do you need to make that happen?
- douche 11y agoI donate monthly automatically, and Wikipedia still nags me. Oh well, that's what Stylish is for.
