> and also not gating information behind said sign-ups

"People should do work for free" isn't very workable.

I don't think there's anything in GDPR or similar laws about disallowing paying for a subscription with money. It's merely about killing the practice of paying with your privacy for something otherwise labeled as "free".

  • The quote I gave was the context, not GDPR.

    • "not gating information behind said sign-ups" was in the context of regulations like GDPR. You twisted that into "People should do work for free" which is not at all the meaning of what you replied to.
