If you’re going to link to an article that’s behind a paywall, please warn us.

My bad, I have Bypass Paywalls Clean so I didn't even notice the paywall!

Respectfully dude, it's not everyone else's job to police content for you. Paywalls are everywhere, it's the internet.

A paywall can be a fair way for publishers to get subscribers and revenue.

Here it's less fair since it's an anti-adblock paywall that specifically targets user who obect to targeted advertising. It's trying to pressure readers into accepting tracking by advertisers.

I agree that paywalls can be fair, and I appreciate your additional analysis of the situation. I’m not okay with being tracked.
