another pet peeve. (yeah, I gots lots.)

if you’re linking to an article that requires you to sign up for a “free account” before reading, please put it behind a CW. save people from wasting a click (and their time).

“free account” is paywallese for, “we’re going to spam the fuck out of you for the dubious honor of reading maybe a half dozen of our articles per year.”

dear paywall asses, just take your ad revenue and be happy people are showing up to read your shit.
