12ft.io is a website that allows you to bypass paywalls on websites. Specifically for articles/news. The idea being “show me a 10ft wall and I’ll build a 12ft ladder.” It worked well against a lot of article and news outlet paywalls originally, but as time has gone on more and more sites are starting to show up on it as unable to bypass.
Ah got it, thanks.
The great enshittification continues.
How is it enshittification to stop people from pirating your stuff?
On the one hand, you're absolutely right.
On the other hand "The truth is paywalled, but the lies are free."
