ITA: OMG! I'm required at many huge sites to register for the site to view content! Some of them aren't even free, I have to pay!
If you don't like those sites, don't use them. Sites as described do not constitute the "entire web". There are plenty of great still free still usable websites. There is an entire internet of them.
Believing that the whole web is just the monopolistic giants is the problem here.
