But this screenshot right here of the Financial Times site posting a Cory Doctorow article about enshittification is a work of art. Yes, we’ve proven that quality news needs to be paid.

But putting an article on enshittification behind both a paywall and a giant cookie management dialog asking you to accept cookies from FT and their 27 technology partners? Chef’s kiss right there.
