Pay sites

[NCHawker]

Well I just visted the CR Gazette site and was blocked until I paid them. I was surprised a bit. But the internet has radically disrupted the economics of the newspaper business.






And now I go back and this is gone.

Clear your browsing data, close your browser, and go right back. Works for the stupid three articles a month on DMR sites too.

These sites know very well that everyone does it. The people designing their websites aren’t idiots (well, not in the technical knowledge department).

They just want to make it a half-hearted pain in the ass for people, and pick up a tiny bit of cash from a few poor shmucks who actually believe they’re blocked and pay the subscription.

I don't even visit pay sites.
I'm not saying I am the most talented or a football guru, but really I just want to know the news, I can make my own evaluation.
Rob does a great job with the personal stories though, that make you feel as if you know a player or recruit. I am a little surprised at how much I enjoy those articles.

Also, can use different various browsers. I'm the king of that. I've been battling that with various papers for years.

Or you can just go to their face book page and pretty much get all stories for free

I had a chrome extension at one time that I could tell it certain websites to delete from my browsing history and the related cookies every time I left those sites (and leave everything else), but I got a new confuser at work and don’t remember what it was called.

Our IT department always keeps your last PC on hand in case you need something that didn’t get brought over and recycles the “second to last” one; I should ask tomorrow if I can peek at it.

Just searched it. Looks like there are multiple different extensions that possibly do this. Thanks for the heads up.
