What is crazy is, trying to now view this on my mobile device required me to fill out a captcha, which I couldn’t even view because it wasn’t completely viewable on my mobile viewport.
Without venturing a positive or negative opinion either way: I clicked the original article, couldn’t see the content without paying, so I left. Clicked the link to presumably bypass the paywall, and couldn’t pass the bot detection in a few seconds as a human on my preferred reading device, so I left.
Now I don’t want to bother reading the article at all, and took the time to write a comment here instead.
- justaj 6y agoAre you referring to the archive.is link or the original?
- ddelt 6y agoThe archive.is link gave me the captcha, so I’m referring to both.
- justaj 6y agoDoes the captcha still occur if you turn off JS?
- fyrabanks 6y agoHe’s talking about the captcha on the archive link, as well as the paywall on the actual article. I have the same issue with the captcha on my phone.
