Paywall. That site frankly does not even look legit and looking at the plethora of other AI sites I don't know who would use this one. It's not even displaying correctly and has like 0 information on anything. If I were to stumble upon that site I'd think it is shady as hell.

You are almost definitely getting downvoted because it sounds like you're saying 404media is not legit. I realize that you're not, but I'll admit I interpreted it incorrectly at first.

No but having misinterpreted your message once myself and then seeing the replies, I was just letting you know.

I think when people read "this site" in the comments, they assume it refers to the link itself. So while the rest of your comment makes it clear, you try to connect it to the (incorrect) assumption. Like 404media isn't a very pretty site so I can see why someone might insult the aesthetics?

I don't know, I wasn't picking a fight or anything

The site looks fine to me, I'm not sure where your criticism is coming from.

Oh, I thought you were talking about the linked news article website. My mistake, I wasn't about to check out the site that allegedly lets you make CP

There are better ways to assess the legitimacy of a media outlet than critiquing its web design. The Wikipedia page might be a good start.

I don't like the loginwall, but it doesn't require payment.

They aren't talking about the news site. They are talking about the AI site.

Literally not paywalled.

And they did this for free posts because there's lots of sites that scrap and re"publish" articles.

I know this isn't necessarily helpful, but 404media has an account wall, not a paywall. You authenticate by email without a password.

Ah, pardon my misunderstanding. I thought the two paragraphs weren't related.
