I think the most interesting thing about this article was how they handled ads/micropayments. It detected my ad blocker and asked, "Hey, we see you have an ad blocker, disable your ad blocker or each article is 10c, we'll spot you a dollar, are you cool with that?" Yes, yes I am. That's totally reasonable.

Yeah wow. I just deleted the element blocking my view but that's strange. Ad blockers will just easily stop this countermeasure.

(Not that its unreasonable but I just want to scan the page for a few seconds to see if it's interesting or just has a clickbait title and I'm not paying 10 cents for every clickbait title on the internet.
