Use an adblocker? Read salon.com? You have a choice to make - robkelk - 02-22-2018
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.

Goodbye, Salon.com. You will not be missed.

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