you (or AI on your behalf) paid instead. Many sites would probably like it better.
- dns_snek 1y agoIt's not a development problem, it's an adoption problem. Publishers are desperate to sell us on a $20+/month subscription, they don't want to offer convenient affordable access to single articles.
- skydhash 1y ago$20/month would be nice if it wasn't a tier with less ads. I want no ads, and full-text rss feeds (because I want to use my clients to read). It's like how Netflix refuses to build a basic search and filter, or Spotify refuses to an actual library manager. They don't want you in control of your consumption.
- autoexec 1y agoIf people were forced to pay for websites by the http request people would demand that websites stop loading a ton of externally hosted JS, stop filling sites with ads, and would demand that websites actually have content worth the price. There are so many links I click on these days that are such trash I'd be demanding refunds constantly.
