    It’s incredibly easy to make an impossible to get around paywall.

    Sure, but the easily-bypassed js method makes sure it’s still crawlable by search engines, which is a trade well worth making where I work. Doesn’t matter as much for porn sites since the title and description aren’t the content most people are there for, so you can expose them on the paywall page.

      Very true. I don’t disagree at all. I think once google finally becomes totally useless. It won’t matter.

      I mean Google is already just Yellow Pages AdWords edition with AI content

      Maybe they have a way to unblock major search engine crawlers but block it for everyone else now? I know Cloudflare was doing something similar for some bot protection mechanism, and this seems like something news outlets would want to do also.
