I've "read my last free article".
Fuck you, Wired
No, see it was meant as a threat.
You read your last free article, kid.
Sorry you got twisted up in this scene.

Not worth the effort imho
Well, it's less effort than opening another site to remove the paywall
has no one here ever heard of anti-paywall filters or bypass paywalls clean filter? perfect with ublock origin on firefox btw.
Wired subscription is pretty cheap and they do good work.
Have to learn that somehow, but hard paywalls make it impossible :/
They also had a data breach of all their users a few months ago so...
How dare they try to figure out how to stay employed
