Well, this just got darker.

    Paywall. That site frankly does not even look legit and looking at the plethora of other AI sites I don’t know who would use this one. It’s not even displaying correctly and has like 0 information on anything. If I were to stumble upon that site I’d think it is shady as hell.

      It is a independent publication for tech critical journalism, founded by ex motherboard journalists. Only some of their stuff is paywalled, some only requires free account. Agree on their site but their journalism is usually pretty good.

      There are better ways to assess the legitimacy of a media outlet than critiquing its web design. The Wikipedia page might be a good start.

      I don’t like the loginwall, but it doesn’t require payment.

      I know this isn’t necessarily helpful, but 404media has an account wall, not a paywall. You authenticate by email without a password.
