I tried to read the article but it was paywalled. Or it wanted me to turn off my ad blocker before I could read the article. Or it was a video. Or the source was something like www.patriotusaeaglenews.ru.

The first two can often be thwarted by turning off Javascript. And if it still doesn't work, it probably wasn't worth your time anyways.

You ever used the web with javascript disabled? How do you do this on a mobile device? Are you sticking to this setting?

Lemmy is awesome to me for this reason: Mostlikely the bot comment is either at the top, or at the bottom. Former tells me that bo expert has yet entered the conversation. Maybe I have meaningful insight (I haven't yet. My shame). The latter shows me I need to read the tldr first, before proceeding to read the conversation. Or maybe I have already cosumed the article and I am still looking for other views on it.

Anyhow, I think it shows that the internet nowadays does no spread information, but user data.

I only turn off javascript on specific annoying websites. Then it stays off for that website. I don't know how to do that on mobile.
