    Same. Those sites simply don't exist to me. If it's so important that I see it, then copy/paste the content.

    It's like they're trying to show you a party that's going on in some private location, but you don't get in, because you don't have an account. Well then, they say, if the account is free and you still don't make it, it's not our fault. So they close you out.

    You telling them to "just copy and paste the content" is like telling them to send you a photo/video of the party. It's not the same as being there.

    Which is 100% fine by them.

    They've created a situation where we HAVE to use ad-blockers for security, so they instead have to sell our data.

    If they can't make money off ads OR selling our data AND we won't pay to view the content, all we're really doing is using up their bandwidth.
