how to read articles in 2026:
1. click a link, article loads
2. scroll to the bottom of the page
3. if there is a popup prompting you to pay/register/sell-your-soul to continue - go to 3a, if there is no such popup go to 3b
3a. close the page
4a. done
3b. read the article
4b. done
Very few things are more perverted than making me think your article is not paywalled. You know who you are - making me read 3/4ths of your exposé, convincing me that's way too much text for you to crop it off now and ask me to pay - WRONG! PAY UP! YOU ALREADY READ THIS MUCH, SURELY YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS!
I'm not falling for it again, and neither should any of you.
