I’m not that keen on giving away my data, so it’s less about saving a buck, and more about not releasing info about me and what companies I’m reading about.

    Just make a bullshit account with a temp email and say you worked in McDonalds or Starbucks or something. You are right not to give up your data. Well done, 👏

    Use duckduckgo’s browser plugin to generate a one time an email alias to point to your real email.

    Or simplelogin or mozmail

    If you don’t want them getting your IP address proton VPN allows a free tier VPN or you can use tails or tor browser

    Good luck

      Thanks, ended up going this route. Bugmenot plugin didn’t seem to find anything? Already use VPN, so I set up duckduck plugin and generated a new burner email.

    In the past what I’ve done is abuse the fact that Glassdoor allows you to view one page ‘for free’. So if you just clear cookies everytime you want to view a new page you can kind of bypass the requirement

    The hard way: Fake email address via anonaddy or something, fake employer review “Walmart sux lol”.

    Or you could try one of these in the console:

    $("#ContentWallHardsell").remove();window.onscroll = null;$("body").css({"height": "unset", "overflow": "unset"});

    ("#HardsellOverlay").remove(); window.onscroll = null; $("body").css({"height": "unset", "overflow": "unset", "position": "unset"});

    On the website https://bugmenot.com/ people can share their bs accounts. It has also a browser plug-in where you can select and automatically fill in fitting logins.

      Interestingly, the plugin (I used DontBugMe for FF) didn’t seem to load anything, but going to the page does find logins for that domain. shrug
