Websites have to pay the rent, but they've gone overboard with all the paywalls & ads. The paywalls stop you fla-out. Some sites have just a few ads. Others that demand you turn off your adblocker usually have dozens. 1 site had over 100 ads in a minute. You can't read the article for the ads. They interfere with reading, can overwhelm your browser & can spread malware.
If you see an article I haven't posted about. I either didn't see it or it was ad heavy. I try not to post from ad-ridden places. There's no use in citing an article you can't get to due to ads. These sites want you to pay for access. To cover just HIV articles would mean for dozens of sites. I can't do that.
These sites need to make revenue. They don't need to overwhelm. They're basically ensuring you can't access info about HIV. These are mostly smaller sites that will never garner enough revenue from this tactic to withhold info over something like HIV.
Take care.
Cya...
