#72Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks for the heads up ... didn't know that and will act accordingly.
If you're boycotting something based on false rumors you read on an Internet forum, I'm not sure how you buy anything. Hey, I heard that Kim Jong-un bought out all the world's watermelon farms, so every time you buy a watermelon you're contributing to the oppression of North Koreans!
The OP isn't boycotting anything, he's signalling.

That's a lot of words to say: "the OP is incorrect". But I appreciate your concern.
And, so there is some factual outcome or use to this thread, I'd like to add that I'm looking forward to Murdoch rotting in actual, or metaphorical, hell.
You're welcome.

#74This is a placeholder for substantive commentary about the article contents...
...rather than complaints about Natty Geo's business model (and asking for an email address).
The latter complaints are obvious and uninteresting, and are not unique to Natty Geo.
I'm not categorically against such commentary, but it is not useful if they dominate the commentary here.
The former is interesting because it is relevant to the -content- of the article -- or the underling study if you prefer to read that.

Interesting!
> the landscape undergo a remarkable change. The greenery shifted from a variety of leafy trees and plants to barren grassy fields rimed with stunted oak and pine. The difference in vegetation reflected a change in the underlying geology, evincing rocks with excess magnesium and too little calcium for most plants to thrive. We had driven onto the mantle.

#76Really glad to see people have started to blacklist publications instead of offering workarounds ("Use an anonymous window!" "Toggle off Javascript!") There really is no excuse to treat your customers/readers/viewers like that (edit: especially when you have Disney money) Maybe if enough of us give up on them they'll learn and we'll turn "marketing" on its axis

I assume this is related to the "Enter your email to read this article" popup?
As an aside, I used to work on a technical team that handled things like that on a relatively high-traffic website. I was told at the time that the rough "going rate" for an email address entered this way was $20.
This specifically always makes me wish that some kind of advertising revenue share would catch on and make this kind of thing feel like a win-win rather than feel as though I'm being exploited.

#80National Geographic has been driving me crazy with this email popup. I won't be giving them my email, so sadly I will not be reading any National Geographic articles.
