  They are pissed their advertising dollars have been going away, and won’t put any effort to make a solution that makes sense for non paying visitors.

  Also fuck you pay me

  Honestly I’d guess it’s an oversight

    I’m 99% sure it’s something they just apply to all pages, not something done on purpose

      Mindlessly shoving a paywall on every page on the site is both lazy and indicative of their priorities. Nobody has to do it purposefully for it to still be shitty and revealing.

      I’m not sure that’s better, though.

  They will literally sell their own grandmother for clicks.

  What a great idea. Next time someone asks me my name and to tell them a bit about myself, I’ll tell them to pay up first.

  laughs in Impressumspflicht

  Check if the Impressum is also behind a paywall. Then they’re seriously in trouble :D

  I mean it’s still shitty, but just based on this image, they’re only requiring a free account, not a subscription

    You will most definitely need to enter credit card information during sign up

      If it were labeled a trial account, not a free account, I might agree. But i think it’s more for harvesting contact details and hoping for a paid subscription down the line.
