it's even worse in the field of science, honestly fuck journal publishers, you can all eat dicks. None of you do anything important for humanity.

Insta. Facebook. In fact all social media that only lets me see 3-4 messages before demanding I log in. Fuck. You.

it's actually so bad, i genuinely have started to not use the internet outside of like, youtube, npr sometimes, and wikipedia. And archive.org because it's actually fucking useful.

Really? It seems like it's 50/50 if I can even open a link I've searched up without it immediately demanding that I log in.

For me it always showed a banner asking me for an account, but you can immediately close that one.

If I want to see what someone has posted I search for the name, click ob The profile and im am then able to see what they posted.

i would be inclined to agree with you, but don trump jr posted an image about tim walz drinking horse cum, and i just had to see if it was real. Because well uh. Obviously. (yes it was real)
