    we noticed that articles […] were being scraped by bots, run through an AI article “spinner” or paraphraser, and republished on random websites.

    These are the hardest working people in the business right now. They are entitled to making a decent living and the least folks can do is sign up for a free account. 😅

            Yeah I am aware of that, it’s just less convenient than an add on doing the same thing automatically

              Optionally, buy an android. Prefably a Pixel, and install a custom ROM on it.

    they’ve said multiple times that they require email as a way to combat against their work being scrapped by bots and getting published elsewhere. They are a small team doing great work they need money to keep running. I don’t see what the issue is.

    How about you take up a full time job on the noble task of “informing the public” but also don’t ask for any monetary compensation
