Wikipedians are rebelling against “unethical” Wikipedia fundraising banners
I don't go to wikipedia.org anymore, and use my browser to redirect all links to Wikiless.<p>Regardless of the reason, if a page I'm going to doesn't display the content I reasonably expected it to have, I consider that page broken, and try to find a replacement as soon as possible.<p>The cognitive load of cookie banners, newsletter prompts, paywalls, tutorials, and so on, is just not acceptable to me, and I choose to leave all of it on the other Web, the AOLWeb and FacebookWeb, the one which I rarely access, mostly by accident. The GoodWeb, the one with the content and fast, lightly formatted pages, is where I stay.<p>I vote with my browser, only allowing JS selectively, choosing to close the tab whenever the AOLWeb rears its head, using various proxies on the rare occasion AOLWeb has anything I actually want, clipping anything useful into my cliplog for others to access more easily.<p>It's refreshing, let me tell you.
