I have long been tired of the fact that I can not normally use 90% of sites without registration. I’m not going to create an account in order to read a post that interests me right now. But today was the last straw. Fucking Tumblr makes me create an account just to find and read 1 POST. (Sorry for mistakes, I am non English...
I’ve started doing a modified version of this too. If there’s any kind of roadblock in front of the content, I’ll ask myself to be honest about how important it’s likely to be to me… and maybe like seven or eight times out of ten I’ll just close it and move on, no regrets.
I apply this thinking to captchas as well, though my skip rate is probably a bit lower.
Here’s one I started planning but never got around to actually pulling off. My team had recently moved from Windows to Mac, had a habit of leaving for lunch at the same time and for some reason never, ever locked their screens.
The prank would go like this: I’d grab a copy of a classic Mac emulator, a System 7 disk image and copies of all the Adobe apps circa 1980-whatever, so that they would come back from lunch one day to find all their beefy new Macbook Pros “downgraded” to looking like this, complete with working Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.
Is there any plugin or way to block forced registration
