Eh you're right of course. Like I said below. Search engines have become useless anyway..

Very true. I don't disagree at all. I think once google finally becomes totally useless. It won't matter.

I mean Google is already just Yellow Pages AdWords edition with AI content

Yeah the article stub doesn't link to the article. It links to a login flow with the article id. If you go directly to the article you get redirected if you don't have a session.

It's incredibly easy to make an impossible to get around paywall. Porn has done it since the Internet existed.

In this very particular situation I'm glad most companies are lazy and stupid.

I don't particularly care if a company does pay only content. I think its legitimately ok. I hate companies that don't make you pay enough for the service to cover their costs thus leading to complete enshitifaction.

One way they make money. One way they'd need to spend it. It's against capitalism to do the latter.

Greed is the fundamental flaw that makes humanity awful.

We are also born unable to care for ourselves. Or speak. Or...

Fun fact about AI products (or any gold rush economy) it doesn't have to work. It just has to sell.

I mean this is generally true about anything but it's particularly bad in these situations. Also PT Barnum had a few thoughts on this as well.
