    Here in Spain they started making the option to either subscribe… Or accept the ads/tracking…

      Same in germany. That makes the whole thing even more useless, as everyone just is a subscription-based shit now…

        Yeah I see it seems it applies other places.

        I would be ok with it honestly if they like allowed to select sites but they did this “content pass”, https://www.contentpass.net/en , which englobe a lot of sites and lot of them I don’t want them to see a single penny from me because they are shit. If they fix that and I can pick and change it along the way am all in on it.

      Just use reader mode, it bypasses all that shit.

        Oh I am sure there are ways to bypass it. Just saying what they do.

      Same with a lot of news outlets in Germany. Although it’s not that difficult for me to use only sites that allow disallowing every cookie or just bypass the cookie popup
