I just got "ad walled" by wired, putting a huge paywall like thing in front of the text talking about ad blockers. Anybody seen things like that? Certainly won't click the next wired link.

I think it's their prerogative to say "either get served ads, become a paying member, or leave." I imagine they wont mourn the loss of someone who would have likely not brought them revenue in any form, ever.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Disabling 1st-party scripts in uBlock Origin got rid of it for me. I can't find this option. Where is it?
Global block/allow is the left column, local (to the current domain) block/allow is the right column. I always globally block 3rd party scripts and frames and locally allow things like ajax.google.com when sites are borked.
Apparently now I need to start locally blocking 1st party scripts on sites too because of shenanigans like this.

Yup. Tried for a few seconds to add a custom blocking rule and then immediately left the page. I empathize with content creators, but this reeks of desperation.
I WANT TO SAY: thanks wired for the new anti-adblock campaign. You just saved me 10 minutes of my life reading about bee beheading hornets. Now back to programming.
