News websites wanting to charge you money in order to read their articles. 💵

IT’S A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT FOR F*CKS SAKE!!

Edit: I’ve seen some people have commented about other stuff that really grinds their gears. Just wanted to say, go ahead and take it out. 👍

    Most of them will just put up a soft-paywall, which are rather easy to get around. Sometimes as easy as clearing your cookies (or using an incognito tab).

        It depends on the site but there’s a few different ways to get around it. For example I didn’t even realize business insider had a paywall because somehow my AdBlock removes it. Some websites work with 12ft.io but lots block it now. If it’s one of the websites that give a limited amount of free articles open it in private browsing mode. And for others archive links seem to work.
