I see nothing constructive to debate here, so I'm flagging this.

There are those of us who are unwilling to provide our email address to yet another website. There are sites and sources that I am happy to support, but I limit how far widely I spread my email details.


The term for this is loginwall, not paywall.

So you said:

> Sign up with an email address to read all of the articles on this page.

I said I tend not to sign up for things, and your response is:

> Do you actually do everything that websites tell you on the Internet without thinking for yourself? You can read the article without attaching an e-mail. Gosh!

I was replying to what you said. If you choose to be misleading, don't then accuse me of not thinking.
