Umm I was reading the comments, does nobody else go into the page's HTML and delete the "pay now" popup. Usually deleting the code works for me. Let me know if you have a way that works for you!

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That sounds like a lot of work. On sites where that work (which is not all of them, some are made by competent people), firefox "reading mode" just do the job.
Sometimes the reading mode bypasses paywalls and popups.
Also make sure to block "annoyances" in uBlock.
For the rest, I'm using the Nuke Anything extension.
I just put Firefox into reader mode before that can load.
I used to do that but it turns out ublock has a option for that!! When u click on the ublock plugin there is a thunder symbol option which u can use to delete any element on the page. 🙃
Edit: grammer mistake

It really depends on:
- How intrusive the ads are
- If there is other invasive tracking
- How "corporate" the website is (SEO garbage AI spam vs genuine indie blogger)
- The quality of the article
But for some reason, 75% of the time I decide to willingly turn off my ad blocker, there's nothing to block.
Imagine if Newspapers were originally run like web site news
If you wanted to read A paper, you would have had to buy a year's subscription
Reader mode on
That's just fine as far as the site is concerned.
They provide content that is paid for by ads. When you block the ads, you're using up bandwidth and not contributing to the site's revenue. They want you gone.
Peak monetisation. Don't let them even see the article [copied from another website and run through ChatGPT] until they fork over the entrance fee.
