A wild "Using this website in incognito mode requires a paid subscription" blocking div appears

Normal people: okay... *proceeds to exit incognito mode*

Developers: huh.. Bitch please.. *inspect element, hide blocking div. Select html tag, remove "overflow: hidden". Profit*

Why would anyone want to block surfing incognito anyway? They should be encouraging it actually..

PS:, While writing this, wondering if content for subscribed users is also locked this way.. Now that would be hilarious.

    You want a free web?

    People have shown that they don't like to pay to stuff, and would rather see ads. Hiding them however deprives parties of revenue.

    Do you want a paid web? Because that's how you get a paid web. If you're fine with it - ask them for a paid subscription option.

    I hide ads (most of the time) because most of the internet is pure shit, and I don't want to give anyone money at my expense. I support with real money, and encourage everyone to do so, the content creators and platforms that I like and often come back to.
