I object to paywalls shammy. They make enough out of advertising. I object to adverts too, cos I'm basically a grumpy old bastard now. Victor meldrew reincarnate. I won't subscribe to Sky as they charge you to watch their adverts. Netflix is ok though.
Don't know if you ever visit cqn? At the moment everytime you refresh the page there is an England team pop up on your screen, it's fucking annoying. If I see that cheating wee cnut sterling again...
So the owner of the site P67 allows this, he no longer engages with his readers. Fed up or beneath him I dunno? He has a loyal following and I've read many an interesting article on there, WC worked there I believe till he branched out on his own.
There are numerous complaints on the site now about adverts and pop ups, all seem to be ignored. At the end of the day we have a choice, like it, or lump it.
