When google started to index paywalled things.... I thought that was pretty evil. Showing google content but not normal internet users. Giving sites the ability to have their cake and eat it too.
When reddit decided to force logging in to see some subreddits on mobile, I decided they were evil.
This is why I'm on Lemmy posting content, we have to use open platforms if we want them to succeed. This is the first time I've used social media. I'm doing it as a civic duty
Google has (had?) a rule. If a site lets them index their paywalled content, then the site must deliver the full content if the referrer is google.com or else they will de-index the site. So when clicking a link on google, the full article should appear. It was an old trick to just google the article title to find a link and click through to read a paywalled article.
Is that policy gone now?
as far as i can tell that policy never existed. The first instance of this was for academic articles being indexed behind a paywall, and they NEVER worked with the referrer being google.
It kind of existed when Google included a link to every site’s cached content, but they removed that years ago.
It's been that long?
That's depressing for a few reasons
I am surprised I didn't even notice that, I used to use it for when sites changed or were down. I guess there's always internet archive sites if I were so inclined, but still sad.
