Sure, after you dismiss the pop-up telling you to become an ars subscriber.

I’m only angry about this because I’ve been on ars since 2002, as a paid subscriber for most of that time, but I cancelled last year due to how much enshittification has begun to creep in. These popups remove any doubt about the decision at least.

(I cancelled because I bought a product they gave a positive review for, only to find out they had flat-out lied about its features, and it was painfully obvious in retrospect that the company paid Ars for a positive review. Or they’re so bad at their jobs they let clearly wrong information into their review… I’m not sure which is worse.)

Lol if you aren't blocking those popups by default. Lots of extensions will take care of that for ya.

No, my policy is to just not go to websites that don’t respect me.

It basically means I don’t use the web very much, but it’s probably better for me in the long run anyway, at least that’s how I see it.

I started buying paper journals, dismissing ads by flipping pages is much better UX
