Maybe not, but it still shows this: A screenshot of the Guardian's website with a pop up asking for an optional donation, with the monthly option selected by default.

That's not a paywall. A paywall is basically a mechanism that locks content if you don't pay.

I should have called it a pay hedge.

My main complaint is that the message is so big, and that it covers so much of the screen.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I dislike sites suggesting a monthly donation my default.

No they do not, subscription/registration is optional to people that can read.
