Sorry, I didn't realize it was paywalled or ad infested because of addons that I use to block all that stuff. Archive bypass: link
This is very relatable, between DNS filtering and uBlock Origin (with a couple custom filters) I always forget how user-hostile the internet has become until I use someone else's device.
It makes me lose respect for... well, humanity. The people making this garbage and the people who put up with it.
Eh, the corporate fucks who decide to make websites this way, I agree with you, but the truth is most people who put up with it just don't have the faintest idea of how computers work. You'd bring up DNS filtering and custom adblock filter lists and their eyes would glaze over.
