<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> You should continue to pot links to where ever you get them from and ignore any special snowflakes that do choose to complain about it. However, you can see how some people might not know how to get around some of the payed gated sites.</p><p>and, hey, if they do block you, then just let them why complain about it and draw attention about it, clearly in this post you said it&#39;s a skill issue on their part why not just let them block and you could just keep posting.</p>

<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> Not sure if you noticed but by posting paywalled links and expecting them to figure it out you&#39;re handing out work. Nobody here can force you to do anything differently but the vibe here is different and lots of people struggle with it. If you find yourself rubbing against it another platform may offer a better experience.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> I&#39;d just block them. Life is too short to deal with jackasses like that.</p>
