~~Paywall~~ Soft paywall

Not a paywall. This particular article requires a free account to view it.

Still a "no, I don't want to make a god damn account" wall

Agreed. I don't have an account, I used to look them up on archive.today but since that has its own... Baggage I just settle for not reading the rest lol.

That's a paywall with extra steps.

[-] Zikeji@programming.dev 1 points 38 minutes ago

What are the extra steps? I would think it would be less, no? Paywall would require you to sign up (or login), verify email, select a subscription, enter payment info, subscribe, then go back to read the article. This seems to just be sign up, verify email.
