Paywall
- philk 16y agoActually a free registration. If you don't want to register you can go to www.bugmenot.com and find a login that someone else has already made.
- Tichy 16y agoRegistrations are not free.
- barrkel 16y agoEven easier, use a HTTP referrer spoofer (like RefControl in Firefox) and set the referrer to news.google.com or similar, and you never hit the registration wall. Works for FT, WaPo, etc. too.
- brc 16y agoToo much effort - the last thing I need is more newspaper spam begging me to pay up for something I need, with no escape in sight. Maybe if I lived in NY.
- jonknee 16y agoThey won't email you unless you want them to. I have been registered for years and haven't gotten one email. I've also only had to sign in once this year, when I got a new computer. It's well worth the effort.
- hellweaver666 16y agoReally? I was able to read the article free of charge with no nag screens or prompts. I've seen a couple of comments like this lately, and each time - had no paywall pop-up. Is it a geographic thing or something? I'm in the UK so maybe they don't bother targeting people outside the USA?
