Use an adblocker? Read salon.com? You have a choice to make
#1
The Register is reporting that Salon.com is giving people who use adblockers an option: turn off the adblocker, or mine cryptocurrency for them.

Which security hole do you want to open on your PC? Or would you rather stop reading salon.com?

I know what my answer is... but I never really read salon.com anyway, so I won't miss it.

Yeah, that's literally no better than "whitelist or nothing" with no subscription option.

You really have to wonder what genius at what level of the company proposed this.
