I wanted to read this, but not enough to make an account. Whoever is publishing this blog should consider whether a $0 paywall is worthwhile.

- somerandomnames 2y agoYou're not alone with this one, don't need another potential source of spam.
- 1123581321 2y agoYou can enter any email and the article instantly unlocks. It doesn’t seem to be an account.
- SanjayMehta 2y agoUse a temp throwaway email service such as mailinator.com Works most of the time.
- remram 2y agoI usually put in postmaster@<yourdomain> (e.g. postmaster@heatpumped.org). Eat your own spam, idiot.
- blitzar 2y agoI usually put in <ceo name>@<major ad / search / social media platform>
- SanjayMehta 2y agoNever thought of that, now it will be the first thing I'll try. Mailinator is great if the website wants you to click a link or enter an OTP to verify whatever it is that they verify.

- nottorp 2y agoInteresting; by the time i read this i didn't get asked for an email. 7 hours later than your post. The author has seen the light? :)
- ssuds 2y agoHey! Yeah, I figured out how to turn off my content gate last night soon after their comment. Was never my intention to force people to put in their email who didn’t want to and I love seeing a healthy discussion around the content of the article and not just the headline. That gate is on by default on my newsletter platform so I didn’t think much of it when I originally submitted the link but totally understand why some folks were frustrated.
