    Not everyone throws their E-Mail at every Text field they see.

      Funny because of the “not a paywall” on the article which the intent is to force the user into providing their email address to read the entire article.

        Idk, being that “that’s so they can sell your email,” I’m inclined to argue that it is a paywall, the currency is just “email” not “USD.”

        The entire point of a web browser is to allow scum to:

        • endlessly throw loginwalls and paywalls at us

        • load dodgy third party sites libraries

        • insisting on kyc as an act to show and display continuous acts of compliance

        So not surprising the linked site has either a login or paywall.

        Forcing a phone number is kyc. kyc is obnoxious.
