🧱 I don’t think the The Verge’s paywall will last, given that it’s very porous, most Verge readers likely block ads anyway, and the comments section is already… lively. They should offer an easy way to support them without degrading the free experience, but I can’t blame them for trying something.
@joeross One side question: Does it already block #Ai scraping also? Because I think this will be the next big issue for jrounalism: AI scraping and summaries.. imagine #google is just like #Chatgpt or #grok and just presents excerpts of the page as summary.. no more visit.
You see the problem, too?
