    I’m a paying NYT subscriber so I guess “supporting journalists” (why did you even put this in quotes?) is more important to me than “vague fears” of “personalized advertising” which are probably much the same on every “website” in “the world.”

      why did you even put this in quotes?

      IDK, it’s early morning and I felt like it was an established term. I’m sure I was thinking something, but I can’t reconstruct just what. I’ll fix that.

      I have a personal distaste for login-walls. I’m fine with disabling my adblocker for sites I trust and enjoy, but I just don’t like walled-off content. I’m doing my best to avoid tracking cookies, including manually going through the cookie settings on those notifications and clearing cookies on sites I don’t need to stay logged in on. Courtesy of GDPR and judging by the variety of irrelevant ads I do get, I like to think I’m doing a mostly solid job.
