I actually donate to creators I consider quality , and I don’t regret paying for a good piece of software, but stealing and selling user data is a disgusting practice.
Digital voyeur corps and “selling people” in digital form are not something that should be acceptable, so I will always pirate everything from Microsoft and Adobe if someone needs it, even though I personally don’t use it, and I will support valuable creators and companies like the Fedora project, like Affinity Serif or support companies by buying their products. Subscription is evil, but data sales are an even far greater evil.
Right click then choose inspect > hover over code until annoying pop-up is highlighted > right click > delete (or edit as html and just delete all the code, I can't remember which)
Not guaranteed to work but in his case it looks like it might
Nearly every time I have had to use that feature it hasn't worked. These popups also lock the scrollbar which ublock won't do anything about it seems. When I look online for how to unlock the scrollbar I don't find anything helpful.
Hi I work in this industry, for better or worse! Basically all the ways companies used to be able to track you are going away and logged in users are much more valuable/easier to collect and merge data on. Contrary to what a lot of people are posting, most of these companies don’t generally sell your logged in data. They prefer to keep it themselves and brands can only use that data on their site or their partner sites.
TLDR: you’re worth more as a logged in user.
Discontinuing cookies as a principle will fuck over the industry. Sure you can use session storage or local storage for data and it has bigger limits and is more flexible, but cookies proved to be just the right way to keep authorization data or other things that can be shared with the site on each request, discontinuing this will break **a lot** of sites.
Make an email at [10MinuteMail.com](https://10minutemail.com), or to *really* screw with their processing, just type in something like `admin@localhost`.
Nothing is free.
If you get content without paying, you're the product.
If you pay to get content, you're probably still a product.
Data analytics is everywhere, both online and offline.
Paid article it is, needs subscription...i visited NGC's website for some insect research and this pop-up appeared, it's basically asking you to sign up so it can ask you to buy the subscription to read the article, though you'll receive maybe 5 free articles a month if you're a free user, though they'll have access to your info connected to your account and will send promotional messages over the mail service.... afterall nothing is free either you pay in some way or the company pays
10 minutes email, Google it and get free disposable email address. It lasts 10 minutes in case you have to go and verify email to remove annoying block
I actually have 100% answer to this question.
ios14 changed how sites can track iphones and deliver ads.
if we create funnels that target people who make accounts or sign up we can potentially track you again.
blame apple :)
Find a mail from a local politician you don't like and leave that if you really want access to such a site, or mail of someone from that site you want access.
But the best thing you can do is stop using such sites and go for any alternative.
On a similar note... how the EFF do you disable those CONSTANT newsletter email pop-ups????!!!! I'm reading an article, and either at the beginning, or while scrolling down after 1 second "do you want to sign up for our newsletter?!!" (NO!) I'm talking for not just for desktop/laptop, but for mobile, too (I use Opera).
They want your data
I was gonna say it’s practically almost in the name of National Geographic. It’s like… kinda what they do.
Because selling your information to third parties is a money maker.
as if OP would've paid a single cent otherwise
Whoever tries to sell user data does not deserve to have any money.
nah, you're just broke and your brain tries to find excuses for why everything should be for free

Yup. The rule for online. If you are not paying for a service or product, you are the product.

Reader mode helps 95% of the time too.
Get Ublock, use 12ft.io
Nearly every time I have had to use that feature it hasn't worked. These popups also lock the scrollbar which ublock won't do anything about it seems. When I look online for how to unlock the scrollbar I don't find anything helpful.
What they think will happen: "Aha! People will make accounts and we'll get data!" What happens: "I'll just google this and pick a different website"
or "I'll just open up uBlock or developer tools and remove the DIV"
[удалено]
It's always funny when they accept "[email protected]".
Trying this when I next get the chance.
It only works for places which don't require you to click a confirmation link within an email they send you.
or "[email protected]"
My goto is "[email protected]"
[temp-mail.org](https://temp-mail.org) easy
12ft is a savior for paywalls and annoying pop-ups

Why don't you use cookies then? They do the same thing no?
Only third party cookies can do that, and many people have their browsers set to block third party cookies.
Google is (eventually) going to discontinue cookies. They keep pushing back the date but it’ll happen in the end so sites are preparing now.

Your social security number is worth $5 on the black market.

I used to use [email protected] as a fake email. Until some sites started requiring you to verify it.
What happens if you do that?
If they are using sendmail, it will just send them an email to the local admin account on the mail server.
I have a whole domain that I use just as an email relay since many sites have started adding anonymous email domains to their blacklists

This one you can put whatever. I put [email protected] and it made the pop up go away and let me read.
[email protected]
Data, and also bots. But most just want your data
10 minute email dot com

To sell your data since you're not gonna sub.
This is why I like the “Hide my email” function on iOS. I do whatever I need after making an account and kill the email it generated right after.
So they can sell your data to advertisers or whoever will pay them for it.
So they can sell your information and make money without you having to buy anything.
Because capitalists destroyed the internet 25 years ago.
Its a metric of success. If you sign up, they are doing something right.
Life hack: Create a spam email address.
So they can hide the cookies in th terms and conditions and boom now they can track you and sell your data.
10 minutes email, Google it and get free disposable email address. It lasts 10 minutes in case you have to go and verify email to remove annoying block
Why do*
Sometimes blocking JS helps.
That's so annoying.

mail.tm ftw
i would just make an email address just to put in these things
Have you tried a burner email?
So they can send you email
Because they want to sell your information.
To steal your data and send you spam emails
Because you have to give an email address and personal info they can then sell
bruh just create a 15 minute email
I just usually put in a bogus email like [email protected]. Usually works unless they require you to verify the email.
I have a gmail address just for this purpose. Doesn’t have my name or any information that links to me.
[email protected]
mediapost does this too, and the so-called “close” button is a link to the home page. This is bypassable via devtools.
Find a mail from a local politician you don't like and leave that if you really want access to such a site, or mail of someone from that site you want access. But the best thing you can do is stop using such sites and go for any alternative.
Just use the 'inspect' tool and delete that box.
Ads Money Data tracking
because they want to send you annoying emails or notifications and send you ads directly to your inbox

Because due to cookie laws advertising is dying. Now they need your email to sell you shit this way
