Here's how to avoid the block: Read a different newspaper. It's not like New York Post has a monopoly on news, if they don't want your pageviews, give them to someone else, don't bother trying to trick them into showing you the article anyway.

Even truer in regard to the Bild Zeitung. Not exactly the kind of newspaper that would make one dumber for not reading it, kinda like the German version of The Sun.

  When I was a kid, I really was afraid the Bild Zeitung could infect me with stupidity. I often think about it, though. In Germany we have some newspapers that apparently are internationally famous for their quality. But I think they sell much less copies than the Bild Zeitung. Now in terms of startups, when would you aim for the smaller audience for the sake of quality? I don't often hear about these aspects when discussing new business models.

    People who like quality often don't mind paying for quality. That's how to match up the audience with those types of producers. For example, a high end fashion blog would do well advertising high end fashion products. A mass market fashion blog would probably not do as well advertising high end fashion products.

  NY Post is also the kind of newspaper that should be avoided, it's an American version of The Sun.

Are you retarded? That is not the point of the story or even relevant. The story is how to avoid the unnecessary block. If companies want to play games, the tech world isn't impressed. As you can see, it's easy to view the web without restrictions. Besides it's not relevant. Other sites link to these two sites, but the links don't work on the iPad. That is the problem. Who cares about the editorial content on the websites? It's not the issue.
