I've "read my last free article".

Fuck you, Wired

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 49 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, see it was meant as a threat.

You read your last free article, kid.

Sorry you got twisted up in this scene.

From where you’re kneeling, must seem like an 18-karat run of bad luck.

Truth is, the game was rigged from the start.

If you clear cookies all the time, every read is your first read

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Rather just not read it

Removepaywall.com

I just used it to pass that bullshit message for a different article

Just disable javascript. Ublock can disable it for specific sites

Well, it's less effort than opening another site to remove the paywall

Wired subscription is pretty cheap and they do good work.

Have to learn that somehow, but hard paywalls make it impossible :/

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

They also had a data breach of all their users a few months ago so...

[–] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

has no one here ever heard of anti-paywall filters or bypass paywalls clean filter? perfect with ublock origin on firefox btw.
