Please post the name of your site so I can make sure to never visit it.

Not because you're bad or evil. Not because your content is bad or doesn't match my "biases."

But because the entire idea that just visting your site entitles you (or anyone else) to income is incredible hubris and disrespectful of the intelligence of your users.

Hey. I get it. We all need to make money to pay for the things we need to survive.

But creating an environment where the decision to visit a site (not even to access content, if I understand the spec properly) requires a calculation as to whether or not I first want to pay is so far from being reasonable (think being automatically charged, say, $10 as a minimum purchase when you enter an Amazon Go[0] store).

Please don't consider this a personal attack. It is not. Rather, I'm using strong language to express my point and encourage you to back off that road.
