My mental model of a website that replaces the content with some 'sign up now' stuff while I'm trying to read it is that it deserves to get closed and never looked-at again.

My mental model is ignoring people who complain about free stuff

FS was a major part of me getting into Munger and building out my web of mental models. Will always be grateful to Shane for that!

Recommendations of things to read in that vein?

The Wit and Wisdom of Charlie Munger is a good place to start.

Shane's mental models books are packed with a lot of random/disparate domains/insights -- He's a good aggregator there.

Thinking in Systems by Meadows.

Really, once you go down the rabbit hole, you find new threads to pull. That's kind of the fun of it
