What offends me the most, as HN reader (in EU), is clicking on links to articles only to discover they're behind a paywall or require me to accept cookies or other analytics crap, especially when they come with "Pardon the interruption" and "We value your privacy" modals. Isn't the article on a freely accessible personal blog somewhere?
- t176 7y agoYep - agreed. The "Pardon the interruption" and "We value your privacy" is pure nonsense. "We value your privacy" must be the biggest piece of misinformation on the web. Tip: Turn off Javascript and all the extraneous crap disappears and the web returns to peaceful normality.
