I don’t think you are lying, but I do think that you are mistaken. I think there’s probably a significant overlap between:
The population that has a knee-jerk “paywalls are bad” reaction, not really knowing or caring that it takes money to put together quality journalism, and that the people reading that journalism have some responsibility to make sure it can continue, if they want to be able to read it
The population that might see a “please donate” popup and react with a knee-jerk “ARHGHGHAFSASDHF PAYWALL OH NOES” reaction and close out and start whining in the comments, not bothering to find the “close” button or read closely enough to notice that it’s not a paywall.
You and the other person have shown yourselves to be part of population #1, so I’m assuming that you’re also part of population #2. This site does not have a paywall. Maybe I’m wrong and they just suddenly decided to reverse their whole funding model and install one, in a haphazard fashion that disappears if someone goes back and loads the page again, but I lean towards my explanation.
