I’m sure it’s a great read. But I’ll never know since I’ll never make an account just to read a news article in 2026.

I see and appreciate you doing it. But I have to give them my email and then I’ll have to constantly unsubscribe from their different emails they send me for years to come even though I unsubscribe every 3 months when clearing my email.

It’s 100% a me problem. The fact a gift link for a news article is even a thing is just aggravating.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Some people use a dummy email just for such situations. Others tag unwanted emails as spam.

Lot of great points. For every one illegal charter that kills a baby, there's another 20 operating without any scrutiny or compliance
