A brief rant: One of my least favourite types of reply to a Mastodon post is a complaint about a paywall.
Part of my annoyance stems from the fact that quality journalism deserves financial support.
But also: It's 2023. There are myriad ways to get around paywalls if you're so inclined. Quit complaining and just figure it out.
@jbe Those wouldn't be the complainers, then.
@pieist
I'm talking about those of us who share links, not the ones clicking, but otherwise yes.
@jbe It hasn't occurred to me in years to block javascript, given how much of the web doesn't work at all without it anymore.
@pieist
A lot of us don't notice if something is subscriber-only if we're already subscribers or if we usually block JavaScript
