It's just a paywall with extra steps.
Anyone that implements it I won't use their content unless it's absolutely necessary. I think stack exchange may be the only site that has enough pull for me to visit them anyway.
Any browser that gets around it I'll use instead. I'm already using Brave, Firefox and Edge instead of chrome.
Really All this is going to do is create a opportunity for AI ad removal, Man in the middle rendering raster scraping the data removing anything that looks like an ad.
That is a great idea for a browser extension. An AI module that hides ads and clicks x’s and generally fucks with their engagement numbers but don’t let any of it get to your eyeballs.
