It is this and then in the cookie banner they write “we and our 800 partners care about your privacy” , I am like no, 800 is no longer private, but an orgy.

800 is a fucking crusade. 800 bastards pretending to be on the side of good and pillaging and raping your ass instead.

This must have been created 8 years ago, since Google offered him what he looked for instead of an AI summary telling him to saute food with gasoline, 3 ads, a banner list of ads, unrelated YouTube results, and a prompt to install an app.

It's fynny when there is a full screen banner that tells you to pay to read the article and then you just use the uBlock origin zapper to delete that and read through the article.

They got smarter than that. They show a page that looks like the one you want, but isn't. It just serves as a vessel to show you that you need to pay. If you zap the modal, it reveals there's nothing behind it.

Yeah I would say on most pages it doesn't work.

But just today I read some F1 news and the page asked me to pay and it just zapped away.

Yes, he did ask you to leave the site.

You can just leave, or make a fuss, or try to punch your way with the dev-tools. I honestly don't care. But what he said does mean exactly "I don't want you here, leave".
