A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you’re going to link to an article that’s behind a paywall, please warn us.
Respectfully dude, it's not everyone else's job to police content for you. Paywalls are everywhere, it's the internet.
My bad, I have Bypass Paywalls Clean so I didn't even notice the paywall!
A paywall can be a fair way for publishers to get subscribers and revenue.
Here it's less fair since it's an anti-adblock paywall that specifically targets user who obect to targeted advertising. It's trying to pressure readers into accepting tracking by advertisers.
I agree that paywalls can be fair, and I appreciate your additional analysis of the situation. I’m not okay with being tracked.
