"CNN launches a digital paywall, charging some users to read articles for the first time"

[kane_magus]

Mmmhmm, yeah, sure. Good fucking luck with that horseshit.

I haven't been hit with this dogshit yet, but if I ever do get hit with this, it will only ever be the one time. Well, maybe twice, once per platform. If I get with it in the Google News App on my phone, I'll just back out and pick the "Hide all stories from CNN" option. If I get hit with it via a Google link on a desktop browser on my PC, I'll just add CNN to the Personal Blocklist plugin on my browser, which auto-hides results from said sources from showing up in Google search results.

I simply do not truck with websites that use fucking paywalls, at all. Or, if I do, I might try stuff like archive.is or whatever to just bypass the paywall, if possible. Maybe that makes me an asshole or whatever, but if so, then so be it. *shrug* But mostly, I just won't use the offending site anymore for anything, at all, ever.
