Doesn't NYT cut off most of the article now? I used to just be able to disable JS but that didn't work anymore last I checked.
Yeah the article stub doesn't link to the article. It links to a login flow with the article id. If you go directly to the article you get redirected if you don't have a session.
It's incredibly easy to make an impossible to get around paywall. Porn has done it since the Internet existed.
In this very particular situation I'm glad most companies are lazy and stupid.
I don't particularly care if a company does pay only content. I think its legitimately ok. I hate companies that don't make you pay enough for the service to cover their costs thus leading to complete enshitifaction.
Sure, but the easily-bypassed js method makes sure it’s still crawlable by search engines, which is a trade well worth making where I work. Doesn’t matter as much for porn sites since the title and description aren’t the content most people are there for, so you can expose them on the paywall page.
Very true. I don't disagree at all. I think once google finally becomes totally useless. It won't matter.
I mean Google is already just Yellow Pages AdWords edition with AI content
