How do you think those "free" articles are paid for? They're paid for with cookies.

This is the same wall that separates me from content on paywall sites - it's just that you don't get out your credit card. Instead, you whip out your cookie jar.

There is no universal "right" to view content. If the content is behind a cookie wall, you have two choices - either accept cookies or fuck off.
