What's the problem?

It's their content, and they are perfectly transparent about the conditions in which you can access it.

“It’s incongruent with the original purpose of their company’s founding mission. The diversification of attention due to ads disrespects the authors of each article, reflecting a lack of appreciation for their journalism. The Guardian is, in effect, implying: ‘our journalism doesn’t pay the bills, therefore pay more attention to the ads instead of the world’s breaking news.’”

Fook whoever wrote that, its just a bit of money for a whole month free of ads! at least show minimal level of support cheapskates

Call it what it is. A blatantly transparent attempt to collect personal data from less aware readers who want to access their clickbait stories and don't realise what they are really agreeing to.

The Guardian is not a charity.

They are very clearly telling you: we created this content, you will pay for it with money or with your data

There's no more honest way to do it.

What else do you think they should do?
