I’d like to see a general ban for sites with paywalls, or that demand turning off private mode or ad blockers as well.

Maybe adding a “submit alternate version of this story” feature would fix it.

If you ban sites with paywalls and those which show ads, what’s left?

The best parts of the Internet.

Could you explain why? Is it because people will only share information worth sharing if they have to pay to do so? If so, then you deserve a [redacted].

He didn’t say ban all sites with ads, he said to ban those that deny access to ad blockers.

I think that’s a fair thing. Paywalls & denying ad blockers (which is thankfully a minority of sites for now) isn’t the entire internet and there’s plenty of other content.

Actively rejecting scum would hopefully deter other sites from doing the same.
