We'll send you this thing for free. Just pay for it first, and then we'll totally refund your payment, honest.
tyrfin
Yeah, additionally if your ad-riddled shit loads so jankily that late-loading ads push the content I'm reading off my screen? Suck a fuck.

Uggh...I have to open this vote-hungry post to downvote?!?

I have a throw-away account on mail.com that I use for all of these sites. They may send me crap emails, but I never see them.

Didn't you sign up to post this?

The ones "Subscribe to read our news" FU!

You can always try a username/password from bugmenot.com; they aren't as good as they once were but sometimes you score.
Ryebread91
Why does every site want to send me notifications now?
CreativeThief
Couldn't you just use a disposable email address?

“I’ll take my business elsewhere” lol. You’re just the millennial version of Karen.
dtleanne10
Karens say that to people’s faces to manipulate them into free shit Quietly choosing not to use someone’s crap site is how capitalism works.
brandonc5033
It's their business model they really don't care about your opinion. They know what they're doing and what they risk.

Big pop up, sign up for our email? Go fuck yourself I'll find the information elsewhere.
UncleRat
If he isn't signed up, who would he be talking to?
ayhhha
yup. just wrong marketing tactic

Irony??♂️

And this is why do conservative / sponsored news is so popular. It's free and easy to look at

30 second unskippable ad? Not buying your product.
LaughingInTheFaceOfDanger
Any ads on YouTube I boycott instantly.
clamdriver
Go to a site to buy something then they ask you rate your experience before you even select a product.
Mikeiller
and if you say it was bad, they want you to fill out another page explaining why

THANKS FOR WATCHING THIS EPISODE OF _____, BUT FIRST, LET ME TALK FOR FIVE MINUTES TO ENDORSE "CLASH OF CLANS".

30 second unskippable ad = ad blocker on.
cheeseguy3412
I have a notebook somewhere with a list of products to not buy. If I've been using it for decades, and I see one of those, I'll buy other
AceWarbringer
Post it up?
cheeseguy3412
I'll post it when I find it, sure - Just finished moving, everything is everywhere. :D

Best app I have ever used. Keep asking me to rate it and you get 1 star
skyblade22
Just disable javascript on that site and boom! good to go!
misteremjay
In that case, my name is AAAAA BBBB and my email is {throw away email}
PizzaStation
Email@domain.com has been my go to for years.
misteremjay
If they don't require email confirmations, I just do a@a.com. Most forms are dumb enough where that works.
downvoteacct
The ones I hate are the news outlets where you read a couple of paragraphs, then hit a paywall to read the rest of the article.
Fargus57
Local paper puts their 'recommended candidates' for elections behind a paywall. Weird for them to hide the picks that support their agenda.
OneUpperSteve
Slathered with popups and “next” links to drag out the page count.

No Netflix?
MelodyLightfoot
You can access netflix without signing up, you just can't access the movies
KawaNyx
Netflix has a free option?? I did not kmow

kraken003
Our generation doesnt value paying for certain things, like quality journalism or other resources of knowledge. Usually cost money, but
kraken003
Theres always free echo chambers where you are the product and manipulated, but yeah, websites asking for money to prevent that are the prob
AlphaVirus2g
You can access imgur without an account. You ain't get the full experience, sure, but you can definitely access all the content shared.
HoneyBunchesOfStoats
you can still look at imgur without signing up, you just need an account to post, vote, or comment
mentallychallengeaccepted
Is this meme posted or not?
HoneyBunchesOfStoats
my point is you can still use the site, just not all of the features, as opposed to instagram where you can't even browse without signing up
volunteervancouver
You do realize your speaking to metallychangeaccepted
HoneyBunchesOfStoats
no I did not, thank you for pointing it out
DoughnutJimmy
Same thing with the "disable your adblocker" bullshit.......bye now
HelmutSchmidt
I wrote a bookmarklet for that.
cbale2000
Sometimes you can prevent those "anti adblock" messages with a script-blocker, but it's usually a pain to configure.
TheSmoothSayer
I do the same thing with sites that don’t allow you access when using a VPN, too. “You can’t access our site unless you enable us to give >
TheSmoothSayer
you viruses and the ability to track everywhere you go.” Nope, fuck that.
CaptKirkCameronDiaz
Use the No Script addon to bypass this.
Newnewhuman
They do that on Yahoo mail now. Pisses me off
Biigs
yup. the second this comes up, "fine then go fuck yourself i'll go to any of the 50 other sites with the same info that arnt ass bags"

Programmer in me sees that request as a challenge and try to find ways to counter them. I found a really bad one the other day that goes 1/
MelodyLightfoot
as far as disabling developer tools, and mouse functions if you dont and after a while managed to find the right component to add to ublock

You're your not signed up to imgur?99

If you really want to read the article. Go to Inspect element and find the pop up module and delete it, works on most sites. If you can’t...
Snooj
If you want the easy way out, a lot of times refreshing the site and hitting Esc a bunch of times works.
GB2319
Scroll then it’s usually overflow: hidden on the body tag. Change hidden to auto and it usually lets you scroll. Not ideal but better...
GB2319
Than being bombarded with ads on their site.

Can you make a youtibe video on how to do this

thelaaaaaw
pages that forces you to disable adblockers and feed you malware should be held liable for the damage
WhiteKenny
This is why I never go to forbes, and never disable my ad blocker when asked to.
DoughnutJimmy
Forbes seem to have disabled that, the page loads and reads normally now
WhiteKenny
Well, I will never know for sure ..nothing there I can't find out from another source anyway.
aevaromarsson
Pinterest can die in a fire.
FrolickingFrolicking
Ok wait wait wait wait. Pinterest the APP on my tablet, and as a service, and source for browsing art, is AMAZING. But yes website SUCKS
AK90
Instagram too!
NotAParsnipInDisguise
And Wish.
Laylah77
They are the worst along with Quora
Bystandr
Yep. Pinterest was the first place I didnt join at the request of friends for that very reason.
oxphmy
It’s super useful for creative brainstorming, but FFUUUUCK all the damn video ads. Multiple on the screen at any point!
aevaromarsson
Why do i need to be logged in to view a photo? If i want to start pinning stuff, yes. Browsing? FU!!! (Sometimes i end up there unwillingly)
Pegas868
Yeah, and some google searches are like 90% pinterest. I usually do -pinterest automatically nowadays
CarnCarbyofRabbitArmy
Good call. It's so frustrating.
sciencebasedlifeform
Would you like to open this comment in the app?
Laylah77
I would but they keep changing my password
aevaromarsson
Reddit all day.
AlphaVirus2g
It's more irritating because switching to the application doesn't offer anything more. It's just a way to get you into an account.
ProphetOfPhil
"Plays video on Reddit app" no sound, "plays on desktop version" has sound...

Guys nobody tell him about Imgur
hadtodownvote1
Read-only access is still access. Only need to sign up for write access
TotallyNotASnail
You can use imgur without an account
OverMyDadBody
Not the app
TMP5
he had to have an account to post that, which is kinda ironic.
tiderfish
Used to be the app could be anon. But now the app requires an account just to lurk.
thevortexmaster
Not if you want to post like OP did
sexytangerine
Not everyone wants to interact tho. Some ppl just want to view the content.
thevortexmaster
Of course but the irony of op posting this but having to sign up to do it is pretty silly
sexytangerine
But its not like he signed up JUST for posting this. Unlike the frustration that OP is griping about. They're not the same.

If emerald had a filter so I didn't have to see anything political I'd get it in a heart beat.
Affablesea9917
You can block tags i think with emerald but that shouldn't be a pay for function it should just be a thing in the first fucking place.
puppywabbit411
What's that?
Affablesea9917
Paying for imgur. no ads special icons and other shit. The only thing people care about is blocking tags and they put that behind a paywall
puppywabbit411
Coo'. Thanks.
