Thanks for this, FT has one of the worst paywalls i've seen

Not to mention a (potentially illegal?) 100% overlay for cookies that only has an “accept” button.

EDIT: there is at least a way to reject them by clicking the link to manage cookies. Still debatable whether this is legal, but at the very least, a dark pattern.


I'm seeing this in a lot of places nowadays.

"Investing with <insert latest fad>: A Visual Guide"

<Fill this space with some AI-generated crap.>

<Provide link for suckers to bite on.>

<Profit!>


It starts with a link to the paper and doesn't seem to have a call to action that induces people to art with their money.
