      Headline is right.

        I mean when you give things away you don’t sell as many of them either.

        Selling stuff works best in an environment where the goods aren’t free but the people are.

        People make money at roadside food stands based on the honor system. Anyone who just thinks “that’s naive” doesn’t know what they’re missing. A trust-based society that keeps accounts is the best society.

      Reminder, using the reader function in Firefox skips almost all pay walls.

        More and more sites are only partially loading the reader function info so that it cuts out at the same place as the preview part.

        Used to be very helpful though!

          I’ve noticed some will truncate if you scroll before entering reader mode, can you provide an example that didn’t work?

      Thank you! It wasn’t paywalled on my end and I wonder if it activates on traffic.
