Notice my exact wording. I spoke about fighting AI bots, not about its efficiency.

@kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com I recommend using an email masking/alias service. The free newsletter is worth signing up to, they send out quite a few free articles.

but my issue with requiring an email is that i don’t want to receive emails from them for any reason ever

I’m not sure I understand your problem here. Mailing lists can always be unsubscribed from and they wouldn’t have your real email on file. Just use the alias to sign into the website and read there. Unless you’re saying you want everything for free without giving anything in return?

Do we want free articles on the internet? Like we’ve had for the past 30 years until some publications decided in the last 5 years to start paywalling everything?
Yes. Yes I do want free articles on the internet. And once upon a time, publishers actually wanted my eyeballs on their free articles.
