Wired To Block Ad-Blocking Users, Offer Subscription (wired.com)
AmiMoJo writes: In a blog post Wired has announced that it will begin to block users who block ads on its site: "On an average day, more than 20 percent of the traffic to WIRED.com comes from a reader who is blocking our ads. We know that you come to our site primarily to read our content, but it's important to be clear that advertising is how we keep WIRED going," wrote the editors. The post goes on to offer two options for users blocking ads: whitelist wired.com or subscribe for $1/week.

But where will I go to find out how Apple's new whatever-the-fuck is going to CHANGE EVERYTHING?
Without Wired, I would never know how Revolutionary and Game-Changing it is every time Tim Cook takes a shit.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
