Then why visit such sites? I deliberately do not install extensions that hide problems for me. I want it to be cumbersome. I want to get annoyed so that I get discouraged to use the site in the first place, and I get reminded of that fact with every single visit.
If the few that do care still visits there is no incitement for the site to not do it.
- throwaway09223 5y agoSure, I understand that philosophy and I think it's valid as well.
- denton-scratch 5y agoMe neither. The forced login just reminds me that this is a site I don't want to visit, and a tab that I want to close. I'm not going to configure a workaround for every obstacle the site operators throw in my way; if they don't want me to visit, I won't visit. I think they'll eventually learn not to do these things (see also cookie banners). But if they don't, it doesn't matter to me. There's other content available.
