The pay or accept cookies enshittification business model

The Independent newspaper site with the option either accept cookies or pay a fee on a Android mobile screen
Pay or accept cookies business model comes for us all

Its the first time I have come across this awful enshittified business model, which totally shocked me because I had only read about it. But frankly annoyed me so much I blocked the Independent newspaper from my network and devices.

I mean it wasn’t great anyway but now and then I would get something outside my usual scope.

Another reason why I need to look at my RSS reader more.
