My favorite is the newest thing that both Reddit and Youtube are doing: Forced sign ins.
It's random who they choose, but if you are looking for something on a search engine, and the result is reddit or YouTube, they have been testing forcing you to sign in to see ANY video or read any thread.
Amazon fire box started doing that shit too and Google wants you to sign in if you search for anything mildly cerebral...fire box gives the option to continue as guest no sign in... and on PC with ublock origin everybody can fck right off, especially commercials...none on yt, rumble, bitchute etc. none. The only caveat is if they label it 18+, and they have on certain sfw topics the machine doesn't like, you have to sign in to view. Can't even get around it with jdownloader...
