Was reading "<span class="threadtitle"> very special "thank you" to Trump supporters" and it appears a link posted by Tomturbomatic created a New York Times overlay to the entire thread. Very odd
</span>
Unless you are a paid subscriber, that annoying overlay appears on any article you read on their website, as I have had it appear when trying to read other different articles.
I am an upgraded member on AW, but will not pay NY Times to read a few articles in a years time. Most news feeds, local or national blast you with ads, but you can still, usually, read the article. Last article I wanted to read on NY Times refused to let me read it without trying to make me get an overpriced subscription and then no overlay and full access, and that aint happening.
