Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Not a paywall. This particular article requires a free account to view it.
Still a "no, I don't want to make a god damn account" wall
Agreed. I don't have an account, I used to look them up on archive.today but since that has its own... Baggage I just settle for not reading the rest lol.
So they can harvest my data. There is a cost; that's a paywall.
That's a paywall with extra steps.
What are the extra steps? I would think it would be less, no? Paywall would require you to sign up (or login), verify email, select a subscription, enter payment info, subscribe, then go back to read the article. This seems to just be sign up, verify email.
