    Subscription software. Tracking software. Ad tools. Promotion tools. Tools for journalists.

    The website is just what you see.

      Yeah, I guess I didn’t consider all the other operational shit that goes into providing content and funding for the website.

        It’s why our PCs have gotten insanely fast but websites still load like fucking trash. All the back end spying shit takes up a ton of cpu cycles. If you don’t already have em run ublock origin and no script and the internet is so fucking speedy 😆

              You can still make it work, it’s just more stuff to click on. I used to use NoScript too, but eventually stopped using it.
