- notatoad 8y agonot only do they advertise to you after you pay, if you are running adblock they attempt to guilt you into disabling it. it's especially galling because the washington post costs me $27/year and doesn't bug me to disable my adblocker, and nytimes is $12/mo plus a guilt trip about "supporting journalism".
- ehsankia 8y agoAnd after seeing how bullshit their unsubscribe flow is, I don't think I'll be joining back any time soon. As much as I want to support their work, these dark patterns are despicable.
- agumonkey 8y agoreminds me of wikipedia. 1) [massive funding campaign banner plea] 2) funds and visit wikipedia again 3) [massive funding campaign banner plea] .. I don't know, use a cookie to make the banner smaller at least..
