I know very well what this means. I am a computer scientist with a PhD in cs. I am in the internet since 1989 and have my webpage since 1994. I never used cookies on any of my webpages.

I block cookies wherever I can and delete the rest regularly.

What did I say? I said: pay them. I pay the Guardian and the taz although they provide their content for „free“. They have to pay their staff. I also pay for other newspapers and magazines.

If you do not want to pay them with cash you pay with data. A much higher price. We both agree on this. However, I would not call people names who try to run a newspaper or blog and pay their staff.

PS I am one of the press directors of an #openaccess publishing house that publishes free for authors. But somebody has to pay the bills in the end. In our case it is 100+ universities.

They work for you. So pay them. Either with money or with your data. Your choice. I find it very strange that everybody expects free content.
