Why do people do this shit to themselves?
I swear if the Borg came down some people would be lining up to join the club.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.

ewwww, a paywall.
A Firefox fork like IronFox with an aggressive adblocker setup like uBlock Origin in medium mode blocks paywalls and all kinds of annoying popups on most sites. Takes a bit of tweaking to not break some sites, but after that it’s amazing.
other people have made good suggestions as well but I use Bypass Paywalls Clean as a Firefox add-on and it works great

I don’t think writers should be paid either. We have AI to do all writing now anyway, so what do we need writecels for anyway? 😏
That’s not the responsibility of the end user. That’s the responsibility of the host. If you’re going to have people write your articles, pay them.
Journalists need to be paid. Ad revenue is in freefall, and it never really supported long form content that doesn’t endorse a product. If you want real news, it has to be paid for somehow.
