      Yea, I’ve seen those pop-ups when trying to find something out. It sucks but isn’t a significant barrier to web scraping

      Doesn’t that only happen on the mobile version? Either way, it’s stupid and annoying. Google should start de-ranking sites that add barriers to content, but I know they never will.

        I tried that on my desktop. So long as you are not actually logged in you cannot see the communities that are too small for a review or too adult after a review.

          Ugh, what a fucking shitshow. I know it won’t happen quickly or easily, but I’m hoping to see more people on federated platforms in the next decade or two. It’s the only way for us to take the internet back from these greedy bastards.
