The last time I opened the Wired site was like 10 years ago, it's still telling me "You’ve read your last free article." See you in 2036 ig

    “You’ve read your last free article.”

    Do they know how ominous that sounds? It reads like they got mad at my freeloading and sent out a hitman.

    Or they know the date and time of your very natural death...

    You've read your last free article. We suggest going to the doctor for a full workup. Screen for everything. Get a will drawn up. Hug your kids.

    Wow they gave you a time to come back, they have just said I have surpassed my 5 free articles for years now, I think it is because I am using a “DNS sink hole”/adblocker I do not care enough to turn my pihole off just to try and read it.

    I have gotten a static IP, and clear my cache regularly since my last attempt to read a wired article so it is not that they are using anything to see that I have tried them before.
