Fun is Dead - Hackdot

And paywalls killed it. I kid I kids. Just having some fun here is all. I wonder what the article said though. Maybe it was to do with some new technology or a political problem. Those aren’t fun. But smoking weed and watching movies and having conversations with friends and all that crap sure is. And I can do that.

Couldn’t have done that in Nazi Germany though. No sir. That was a most unfun place. So maybe it’s a hypothetical about that?

Again I kid, just having some fun.

Or just use reader mode in your browser and see the pay wall disappear

Honestly, even that seems like too much effort, let alone paying for anything.

When I clik an article I am tentatively ready to extend the effort to read it. Any additional barriers put me on the side of "not worth the effort".

Agree. I don't want people to feel obligated to jump through hoops to give companies the views they want. We bless them with our attention.

Luckily here on hnews, we can all take our turn - And 1 person per thread post the alt link, which we do.

Correct, I'm a bore at parties (always on my phone) and even worse in bed (idem)
