- woodruffw 5y agoOh, this was my mistake. It's not a paywall, it's just asking me to register to continue to read for free. Says something about my advertising blindness. (I'm in the US, visiting from a US IP address.)
- TeMPOraL 5y agoPerhaps we need a new term for this, encompassing both paywalls and "registration walls". "Dating wall" perhaps? Whether it's asking you to pay up, or just to register an account, it's still asking you to enter into a relationship with the content provider, and you bounce off because you'd rather not have that relationship. Relationships are a burden, there's only so many one can keep track of.
- _jal 5y agoI just call them, "Nope." I'd really like a plugin that will override styles on links to sites on a list I get to keep.
