In 1999, a farmer gave away 87 acres of land to a small Texas city to use as a park. The city sold to a data center developer for $10 million.

      Not a paywall. This particular article requires a free account to view it.

          Agreed. I don’t have an account, I used to look them up on archive.today but since that has its own… Baggage I just settle for not reading the rest lol.

        So they can harvest my data. There is a cost; that’s a paywall.

        That’s a paywall with extra steps.

          What are the extra steps? I would think it would be less, no? Paywall would require you to sign up (or login), verify email, select a subscription, enter payment info, subscribe, then go back to read the article. This seems to just be sign up, verify email.
