No need to be a dick about it. They made the paywall easy to bypass intentionally.

- melling 13y agoYes, because they expect people to follow an honor system. If you find that much value where you find yourself reading more than the limit, they want you to pay. Does that not seem fair?
- DontBeADick 13y agoIf they wanted to use an honor system, they wouldn't have a paywall at all. The two are mutually exclusive. They want to encourage people to pay without forcing them, because the latter would result in a significant decrease in their readership. They still want non-paying readers to help spread their articles, and they still get ad revenue from them.
