- hyperman1 8y agoYou don't, actually. Enable firefox reader mode and read the article without clicking agree. This works for a lot of these sites.
- oneplane 8y agoI know there are workarounds ;-) But the real issue is that the site has bad practises and doesn't give you an option to opt out nicely. It's basically saying "eat our crap or leave". Imagine every newspaper requiring you to sniff a turd and give a copy of your passport before you are allowed to read it... (I know, comparing buzzfeednews.com with a classical newspaper is somewhat wrong, but it's just a bad analogy)
- hyperman1 8y agoI see it more like this: * Me: Hey guard, I want to read this newspaper * Guard: I won't let you unless you sniff this turd. * Me: I rephrase my question innst ye olde English: Canst thou let reade thine newspaper. * Guard: I have no idea what you're talking about. Here is a newspaper, have fun. You are allowed make life complicated for me, but I violated no law or contract by rephrasing the question in an unexpected way. The options are: eat our crap, leave, or surprise us. BTW, This principle works very well for telesales, religious door-to-door people, and service desks. Do something unexpected and they do anything to get rid of you.
