Look, I don't like mowing the lawn. I think long grass looks nice.

It isn't hypocritical of me to mow my lawn to avoid fines while still advocating for elimination of the grass ordinances in my city.

To directly address your point: the motivation of web 2.0 sites is to get a bunch of money by making the content hard to read without first looking at a bunch of ads, and futher to disallow a reading experience uninterrupted by adds every 30-60s. The web page in question did not show me any ads.

My question to you is: how do you not see the difference?
