i have ad and script blocking, plus a few other things. if a site doesn't work. big deal, i'll go elsewhere.

certain news sites in particular don't seem to understand that they are not the only one with 'the scoop'. lock an article behind a paywall, i'll just click and drag that headline, then right-click and search. boom a dozen other non-paywalled sources for coverage of the same story, some with your exact article, even.
