> Do you have a source not behind a "cookie wall"?

Ignore it, use technical measures to overcome it, disregard it.

If a stranger came up to you in the street and demanded $5 to continue looking at them, you’d tell them to fuck off (in so many words). You certainly wouldn’t avert your eyes, nor would you cough up.

Fuck these bozos and their shrink wrap licenses and their cookie popups and all.



If someone did that, I would probably leave them alone, and if someone wanted to use them as a source, I would probably at least ask if they knew anybody more reasonable.
